-YES-

I choose yes.
are you asking or telling?
sometimes you're so vague
it screws me up big time.

I may have missed my chance.
Or maybe you missed yours.
I wonder why i'm hurt time and time again
and something horrible eats at me and tells me
i'm doing this for the wrong reasons.

so he's so much like him.
(sure explains the lust)
so maybe it's him i really want
not he.

Or maybe i just wish that was how it is.

-INADEQUATE-

You make me nervous, you know
you watch me like a hawk
so i'm loud
so i can be embarrassing
rude
silly
crazy
wild
and pretty damn stupid, too.

So i'm not beautiful
i'm not perfectly thin
i laugh too loud
i'm too emotional
i can be nosy
i spend too much money
i rely too much on my friends
i snap
i lash out with my fists
i stand up for my beliefs
for my friends

i'd give my all for love
i push myself 200% for their pride
i go out of my way to earn respect
trust
affection

Yes that's right, girl.
I'm definitely a fucking selfish, thoughtless, careless bitch.

-HEART ON A LEASH-

Bryan prayed and talked to faded photographs
as he wondered what he'd done wrong
discarded like some old furniture
he turned to them for some way out

Elise walked along a dark and dirty street
surrounded by her black-clothed cronies
broke one girl's arm
and another guy's jaw
before slipping under her bedcovers.

Gutted and breathless
with her heart on a leash
Katie did what she thought she should do
terrified of losing the only one she thought cared
thinking she was being loved
she leaned down to him to make her final move

Changed
we've all changed
some for better
some for worse
but as we were lead to the point of shattering into icicles
we crossed each others' paths
clashes
friendships
but nothing stays the same.
