I was never a choice
I was never a choice
Tell myself the lies, holding on to a hope
How is it so you like the other girls
And I can't look at anyone except for you
I knew I was dumb
I shouldn't have tried
Had I been aware I stroke your ego
I would have disappeared in the blink of your eye
Tell myself the lies, holding on to a hope
How is it so you like the other girls
And I can't look at anyone except for you
I knew I was dumb
I shouldn't have tried
Had I been aware I stroke your ego
I would have disappeared in the blink of your eye

Born to Be Less
Gifted. One of a kind.
She rises on her own in the blink of an eye.
So pretty, she makes the average feel insecure.
You can’t believe she’s cruel—
she’s the best granddaughter of all.
Don’t pretend it’s not true, because I know—
she’s your pride, and I’m just her shadow.
I guess I can’t call her stupid;
she did things I wish I could have done.
Staring at her pictures, I feel sick about my life.
What went wrong with me?
Why couldn’t I end up
where she has?
Don’t feed me bullshit like “everyone’s unique in their own...

Sometimes I wish I never ate
Sometimes I wish I never ate
Food became pleasure
It’s how I rest
Creeping into the kitchen at 3 am - making a crime
Emptying the fridge, pantry staples
Then pretending innocent when I’m called out
I feel so ashamed that my stomach growls
Maybe it’s a habit to want to eat more?
The resilience of a kind had I had
I’m sure, would not help
I swear to have just a bite
But if I start there’s no stopping
Until I’m full to a state where I can’t move my body
I fall asleep with a thought of
What I’m gonna...

I guess I’m doomed for unrequited love
You might be not who I imagined
I’m aware, yet can’t help
Staring at you stealthily, while you pass through me with your friends
Oh god, you don’t even notice me
You care less to see
How fast I’m falling in love with you
Yeah, I know. I’m too naive
You’re probably a piece of shit,
But the thought of you fills me with zeal
If I’m as good as they say
Then why am I not the one for you?

It’s ironic I’m willing to dwell in asylum
This feeling won’t leave me,
It presses harder with my footsteps.
What is it, following me ceaselessly,
Keeping me alert wherever I am?
If you ask me, I won’t give an answer.
You told me to write it down—so I started leading a diary.
Anyone would confuse my notes for a psycho’s.
It’s ironic that I’m willing
To dwell in asylum.
Because—
I worry about people who don’t deserve it.
I’m scared I’ll forever be skulking from problems.
And why do I only feel happy and free
When I daydream, walking in circles for years?
It presses harder with my footsteps.

I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
Everybody wants something from me and I’m too fed up to reply
I hate that at these hard times I’m turning my back
And running away instead of facing it with pride
The moment I wanted to step out outside ,
I realized I have no one to share laugh
And I know I have no one to blame but myself
But I honestly get sicker and sicker each day

But I honestly get sicker and sicker each day

I see the old me in you
Now I’m ashamed
To open my mouth
Cause I fear you may not like
what will come out
Put the black ink into your glass
It turned blunt, sorry I don’t want to
Sound like a haggard girl, who went through a lot of stuff
I see the old me in you
But something made me change or break down
Cause I used to have the same mindset you have
Until I faced the realm
You’re too kind, you’re too wise
I think you’re too good to trust
I hate to be this way, but I’m like
What have I been doing this whole time?

I’ve never thought…
I’ve never thought I’d be put in that place
Was laughing at first, but realized then
Even when I cried, I couldn’t believe
I wish this all has been a dim dream
I believed I was wrong
Like the problem is me
But now I know
That it all has been you
You’re the one who blamed others for your mistakes
And don’t you dare to do that again
Who knows what will be further, we’ll see
Splitting up or living the same
But stop , is it plus 1 now
Or minus , in my family ?

Give me a second
I’m so happy away from you
Guess you’re the one making me at fault
Of your own patterns, of your own problems
But I can’t run away from being lashed out
I feel like motherfucker 24/7
Home doesn’t feel warm , it’s no longer my shelter
Stress - stress -stress I’m over depressed
Another day , slips away from my hands
Think of possibilities if I haven’t been here
Would my life be destined to go through s thing
I said I’m too broken you said we all are
You don’t deserve the pain , but neither do I
I gave you so...
