Get Back On The Shelf
His lusting hands grip
and weakly protest do I,
I'm not ready, but here it comes
the months endless in which I'l cry
and you'll apologize, but it's not enough
and I'l apologize, but you don't deserve it
I'm seeing a counselor, and you bluff
My sanity, well, I'm trying to preserve it
there's scars on my hips
the depression takes toll
there's lies on my lips
I'm not sure if you have a soul
and now the facade is crashing
my world is burning because
I got taken in by your looks so dashing
and got caught with peroxide and gauze
My parent's distrusting, disappointed, terrified stare
you're smile repulsing, revolting, nostalgic still
you haunt, tease, are constantly there
but you don't realize it's your fault I'm on pills
I can't have a normal relationship
a simple touch makes me bawl
even with someone who follows a loving script
there's triggers everywhere, and I wait to fall
Crying in the halls,
being excused from class
crying in the bathroom stalls
too ashamed to look in glass
6 months later, I’m scared and have depression still
and It’s heavy and it’s unwieldy but I’m trying to make a life for myself
I work and smile and I go along, not ashamed to be mentally ill
But you are done, you are in the past, so get back on the shelf
