I don't wanna jump off the ladder,
Just to show them I too matter,
I've thought about it a million times,
Is my existence now a crime?
Sore eyes, not tears pouring,
Leaving behind a transparent tail,
Sometimes it's good that no one notices,
Sometimes I too fail.
All I know,
I'm not alone,
But these nights,
Tore me to skin and bones.
They say, "There is no trust."
"She acts like a slut."
"She ain't no getting high in life."
Honestly, I'd like to see that happen.
They say, family is forever,
And friends are just a distraction.
But that's 'if' I stay forever,
I believed you for a second, the next you proved me wrong.
All I know,
I make same mistakes,
Same rhythm, different ways,
Will I ever learn?
–Sia.
