you terrify me
terrorize me
objectify me
weaponize me
when will i be
free to fly
is escaping high
speed worth it?
i'll see
i've had enough of your
make pretend love
your sugar-coated words
and when eye contact only hurts
you know it doesn't work
i wanna run away
i've wanted since sixth grade
to leave this place that you call home
and i call a house, to each their own
it's not safety here
not resting, nor relaxing
when will i be free to be who i know is me
i'm shipwrecked, lost at sea
you pretend to be the lifeguard
while broadcasting on tv
how heroic your efforts will be
yes of course
we all LOVE you
we all LOVE how much you do for us
the way you call my mom a bitch
or tell me "not your way, do this"
or how you say i'm imperfect
and say my body "should be fixed"
and how "you'll never make it in the world
if you go for THAT job, little girl"
just shut the fuck up? don't you know?
i've had enough of your fucking face
get out of this place
it is not mine
it is not yours
it belongs to nobody
i want to run free
let me be
let me become who i know is me
before i lose my sanity
