You're The Reason Why


Dear A,

You were my gateway drug

Pulling me down the road to darkness

Your beauty made me numb

I should've been your better half

I loved you like a sister

I guess that's in the past

You were so loud that I

Was overshadowed by your melody

For two years, it was fine

Now, you refuse my help

I'm still trying to protect you

While you make me hate myself

You're the reason why

I have a phobia of photographs

You're the reason why

I hide my face each time I laugh

You're the reason why

I'm ashamed of who I am

I wish I could go back to sixth grade

When I still thought I looked okay
