If your anything like me


If your anything like me you'll understand

how dramatic, selfish, and unhinged I am

To notice little things but not care about the big ones

to joke about a tazor and be terrified by a gun

If you are anything like me you get attached to people too soon

you go outside in the frosty air to look at the stars and the moon

you never let people see the saddest parts of you, 

never go outside in the day and always stay in your room

If you are anything like me I bet you already know

that making other people happy is the only goal

That writing lies and dressing up to fit the status quo

Is the only way to live to make yourself feel better so

if your anything like me I'm not sorry

About all those times you went into your closet crying

for being strong when you don't have to

for not letting other people walk all over you

So if your anything like me don't stop wishing on shooting stars

don't stop messing around with makeup that makes you look bizarre

don't stop trying to be better even though sometimes it's hard

because if your anything like me just know your bruises won't leave you scarred
