I’m feeling so abandoned, lost, and alone.
I feel like I’m being swept into a corner,
So I can drown inside myself.
Without upsetting anyone else.
Can’t you see how small and vulnerable I am,
Can’t you see I’m not ready,
To give you the things you demand.
I swear this tough love thing is
Gonna kill me before it has a chance to help
You talk about baby birds needing to be pushed out of the nest
So they can have the chance to fly
Well that sounds all nice and simple,
But you didn’t consider that my wing’s are
To fractured to get by
I feel you pushing me anyway,
And I’m too weak and filled with exhaustion to fight back
It’s all okay with me,
But is it gonna be okay with you,
When my skull splits open on the pavement,
And I die?
