Reality

The waves crash down and reality kicks in.
Thanks Ali for getting my hopes higher than the sky and further than the stars.
You were the only person I loved more than Jasmine but I guess I was wrong about you.
You used me like a piece of paper but now after so many months of helping you, you're just
gunning me down.
The same thing happened with my little sis!
There ain't no turning back now but just remember: An artist doesn't have to show their
true emotions but they do what they habitually, not like me.
