I really want to dye my hair...

Let’s take a moment

To recognize the fact

That that was our third pact

Snap out of it

You’ll grow out of it

Because the soap opera is over

Both hands on the wheel!

I can’t force you to heel

Your picture on the fridge

Is the closest that you feel

Another cannonball around my ankle

Uncomfortable tangle

We grew old together

In a matter of months

Now my heart is eaten by moths

Bare pavement screams run

Because waiting is never fun

Unexplainable energy

And I don’t dare mention

How I really feel

Because these words are readable

And slightly meaningful



Because I just wanted to be a princess

But I end up half dressed

As a filthy mess

Translate the dusty piano’s keyboard

It’s all that I could afford

But I need to translate what you call bitching

Because the words are itching

And dying my hair just doesn’t work anymore

When I need a change

And my trampoline tore

When I was pathetically deranged

Maybe I’ll scream for truth in London

Because my lungs are breathing healthy

Now that you’re gone

The smoke left with you

Because sacrificing for me wasn’t an option

You took in glass bottles for adoption

I mothered your addiction

Do you think I could get air off this jump?

Because I could never run fast enough

or be the next Forrest Gump

It’s almost Halloween

And I can’t decide if my pumpkin

Should be happy or mean



But maybe it’s not safe to give me a knife

Because my friends say I’m bitter

But I love life!

And I sip my coffee with a smile

And shape my nails with a file

But I really want to dye my hair…
