two selves
hello.
--
who are you?
--
who am i?
i’m here to tell you
to step back in line.
it’s been time enough; you can go say goodbye
i’m afraid that you’ve used up all of your time.
--
but it’s me!
not you, this is my home;
i’m doing great here
i thrive on my own!
--
ah, i’m here to let you see
why you cannot possibly be the
one moving forward in
time for this girl
onwards and onwards you
keep moving forwards you
lean your head in, you will scar
all your skin
you need to be careful,
think long and be wareful
but you cannot do that so i enter in.
--
you don’t know what i can do!
i’ve seen so much more life than you.
you only know how to decay
please don’t take my life away -
--
you’ve seen so much more life than me?!
i’ve felt much deeper than you’ll ever be.
i see what others see in you.
you aren’t much more than what you do.
--
okay, i get it, i’ve heard enough
but before i go on and i gather my stuff
i will tell you that you better try to be happy
i’ve learned, and that’s all that she could want from me.
--
i’ve done my time. i’ve learned enough.
you can go on now; i’m calling your bluff.
maybe next time you’ll learn that it’s not so easy.
your lack of sensibility has brought a birth of me.
