Skeletons

Love is something that's pretty to write,

And most importantly pretty to read

Well all did some fucked up shit that we didn't mean,

The difference between some of us is,

Some of us confront the problem and everything's fine,

But some of us like to suppress it and it unconsciously grows a spine,

We put in the closet to avoid tears falling out,

Pretty soon it's a full skeleton and our fears are almost out.

I guess I'm a poet

I guess I'm a smart kid,

I say kid because I don't want to grow up and face my demons,

Imagining poppin caps in my head,

Because I know there were times where you wished I was dead

I wake up and smile when I don't deserve to,

My character is bullshit I left and decided to desert you

Maybe I'm not to blame,

But she left and I was next to take the chain

I took the chain and abused it

Because I wasn't expressive,

Here we go again with this fuckin word suppression.

I was down and I used you as a stepping stool.

Now you think that's all your worth, and I don't have the balls to tell you that's not true,

Truth is I'm a coward,

You don't want to be like me.

Yeah I'm learning from my mistakes

But hurting you is my biggest defeat.

It's the Image in the mirror I have to wake up to,

I was tryna maintain my perfect look I guess I shitted on you.

Thinkin about what I do and do not deserve

Should I listen or be heard,

Forgive me for all the past tenses of my verbs

And I know,

My skeletons speak louder than my words.
