for a star to be born a nebula must collapse. so collapse and crumble because this is not your destruction, it is your birth.


It’s time for another smoke
Ears abused with words
Tired of this world
I’m just a child
I’m just a baby
Clearly I’m not ready
I want to prove them wrong
But I know they’re right
I don’t want to be out at night
I don’t want to wear shirts that are to low
Skirts that are too high
To match what’s inside of me
Drugs
I shrug
Every time
Not cause I don’t care
But because I’m in fear for my life
I can’t tell if the shiver down my spine
Is from the fear, cold, or blunt in my hand
I can never be the same
I wasn’t ready
I’m just a baby
But now they think other wise
And who are they to tell me what I should be
When they’re children themselves
Why did I let the blind lead me
Why did I let the mute speak to me?
Of course I had sight
Just no vision
I had ears
But just refused to listen
And I end
The way I started
Alone
Now that I’m basically a baby that’s broke
Darling, it’s time for another smoke
