so you have to listen to me", I cried
I pushed back locks of knotty hair -
and looked myself in my irritated eyes
"You've grown too comfortable in agony
- and you're starting to finally find your footing
but I know that at the first ledge you find,
you will throw yourself off instead of trying"
"I don't want to hear your snotty nose,
I don't want the taste of salt from those blinding tears
I want you to show up and take control of your life,
because I'm tired and for once, I want you stay alive instead of in fear"

"I want better for you, I really do -so you have to listen to me", I cried
I pushed back locks of knotty hair -
and looked myself in my irritated eyes
"You've grown too comfortable in agony
- and you're starting to finally find your footing
but I know that at the first ledge you find,
you will throw yourself off instead of trying"
"I don't want to hear your snotty nose,
I don't want the taste of salt from those blinding tears
I want you to show up and take control of your life,
because I'm tired and for once, I want you stay alive instead of in fear"
