Coping and Keeping Sane

Fill in the blanks of the words you forgot to say Saying goodbye cuz I’m wasting my life away Bury my emotions deep cuz I think that’ll make them go away Smell the roses cuz that’s what they tell me to do Stop and bide your time for a moment or two Gaze out the window cuz it keeps me from thinking of you And forgetting is just choosing not to remember And I want to brainwash myself sometimes So I don’t remember you, But I know you’ll always be in my heart And that’s what hurts me the most That I’ll never really, truly get over you. To the law of claw and fang You’ve torn me apart And shown no remorse Congratulations on that. I want to be that kid That one girl you’ll never forget No matter how hard you try. But I’m not her. I’m just not. I’ll never cross your mind One more time Cuz you have better things to do And so do I but I’ve got time To waste and I miss you. Please just promise me to never Never show me how you feel. Never. I can’t take it. Knowing you either miss me Or don’t care about me, Would ultimately kill me in the end. Dreaming of something I know just isn’t real is my way of coping. If I talk to myself, so be it. If I cut you out, so be it. If I write, so be it. The pen is my sword. The words are my bullets. And you are my target. You’ll be insulted, Enraged, upset, Torn and frayed, But I will survive. And these are my glory days.
