(no subject)
No matter how far I’ve come
The bridges I’ve crossed
The streets I’ve walked
Or the lessons I’ve taught
I’m still the same way
As I was that day
I’ll always feel small
Next to that tower, so tall
Your appearance can change
And the world can too
But your heart stays the same
Buried inside of you
I want it all
I want to be on top
Keep finding reasons to stall
Infinite reasons to stop
Even on my happiest days
I still feel pain
Weaknesses won’t go away
The definition of a jade
I keep picking diamonds from the sky
They’re like treasure to me
My wishes are goldenly glorified
In a vastly empty sea
In the mirror I see just me
I just don’t seem to get
What the problem could be
Why I’m never eminent
Beauty comes from the inside
I was sabotaged from the start
Hardened skin and languid eyes
And the bitter remains
Of what used to be a heart
I feel I’ve come so far
From where I was back then
But every time I climb out of this jar
Then I fall back in
That’s the thing about a scar
Is it’ll never go away
It can fade or be hidden
Yet a reminder every day
Your past is the framework
For your future home
Deny it and it withers
Away with stories never told
