Truth Lies (to me)

eighteen years I've waited
to tell you what's been in my heart
but standing before you now
the words are caught in my throat
I didn't think it would be this hard

I'm watching my childhood home
from the road as I pass on by
I didn't think staying gone
would be so easy
but I guess everything is when you're high

all the hurtful words
from years past still echo on
pushed like forgotten toys
to the back of my mind
still telling me I'll never be shit

let me sit back
smoke a little grass
try to pick up the pieces
and learn how to love
like you never broke me

(Was in my drafts and I just now finished it)
