Teenage Society


My mind is filled with cluttered thoughts

It's like a teenage girl's closet

Would I kill to get my point across

or would the silence spread shadows?

Hm, I think the second option is at the highest rate

Some people wouldn't get it because they can't even understand their own thoughts

Because they think about other people's thoughts

They're concerned about other people's concerns

When inside, they're own feelings are burned

Because "somebody caused it"

And the reason they caused it was because you were so strongly focused on building them up.....

When you weren't even slighty focused on building yourself BACK up once they left

"But I thought it was forever"

Bullshit

No, but you knew they were gonna leave

Or so as you say

That was the moment you allowed your insecurities to get in the way

You built those up instead

Instead of getting it through your head that.....

People only think about you

Only feel you

Are only concerned about you

And say "I love you"

For that moment
