Gave into a want I had
Now I'm feeling so ashamed
If I could bathe in my own words
I'd be dirty with mistakes
Towel off to only find
Skin has given way to bones
I've already told my secrets
I don't know why I feel exposed
Did I become just like my house
Every corner dust and dirt
I want the calm to carry weight
Growing pains don't have to hurt
These white walls have molded me
Now I think that I can drive
I'm tall enough now for the seat
Old enough to know left from right
Maybe I saw myself in a shop window
Or maybe in a mirror
Where I realized that I'm nothing
But how I choose to appear
Is it shallow to want more
From the people around me
Am I wading in deeper
Or am I scraping my knees
It was always
Like water
That smothered me
L'm a mother's daughter
And the doorframe
That held our growth
Just burned to ash
I taste the smoke
And I can't believe I felt alive
Now I grieve
Pooled upon the ground
In front of their feet
Gave a little more
Than what they asked for
I'm leaking through
The countless cracks in our floor
I know that I'm someone they
Forget to miss
Don't know why I ever even
Tried to fit
