To you I’m broken

To you I’m like a flavor that wouldn’t last

You took one bite

And spat me out real fast

Now this mark remains and it will never ever go away

To you I’m broken

I stretched myself across the world

An act of courage is what I call,

 In the eye of a parent a plummeting fall.

An hour-long lecture will send him on his way.

 It just seems like another reason to run away.

These are words of wisdom you should borrow.

I look at them around me

Those who with my choices disagree

My eyes drop

They’re staring

Quickly judging what they see.

My head tends to spin

Because I’m on the outside looking in

My heart starts to yearn

The secrets of friendship I wish to learn

I want to be inside

And to be filled with pride

I can imagine myself in there
