I try so hard not to disappoint people, so hard in fact that I end up disappointing myself.
One day, I dropped the ball on something for someone important (I can’t even remember what it was now). I can’t even tell you what they said to me, that’s how small it actually was. But it my mind it was such a huge deal that I let them down. This small text they sent me resonated with me so much that I just wanted to cry.
Most of the time I let people walk all over me, it’s just who I am. I’ll do anything to make everyone else’s life easier, even if it makes mine more frustrating.
“Little Bird” was my breaking point, I just wanted to run away. I had to take a step back and tell myself it’s okay, I’m human, even though they (and I myself) may not see that right now.
Hollowed for all buried for none
When will this emptiness carry me on
Little bird flies away
While I’m trapped here to stay
I’m just a shell blowing away
When will you tell there’s nothing you can say
Haunted days follow nights
One more rest and I’ll be fine
Truth be told I’m all alone
Painted smiles and laughs till they’re gone
Who will remember a fractured soul
When this world takes its toll
I’m just a shell blowing away
When will you tell there’s nothing you can say
Haunted days follow nights
One more rest and I’ll be fine
Who even knows where this life leads
I wanted to show you there’s more you don’t see
Little bird flew away
