Back to Those Days
It’s been a long time since I put you away and thought I’d never see you again but I unpacked you today
It’s been a long time since I put you away and thought I’d never see you again but I unpacked you today
When you're different people don't see a person They see entertainment A walking punch line
Bringing me comfort when I most need it Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold My eternal friends, always there You never judge, you never scold
No one can tell you who you're meant to be But remember that a chameleon has its own beauty
Sometimes, it's okay to lie Small, tiny things that don't matter But you have to keep account of it Watch them closely, don't let them scatter
(Told from the perspective of Skyeyes from Girl in Red)
You didn't know what was best You pushed me around like the rest Deceptive, condescending The secrets unending Determined to run my life Then leave me to deal with the strife Until everything fell apart I fell, weighed down by a broken heart When I thought everything was lost to me You held out your arms and caught me
When I was young, and bigger kids would push me down I wanted to push them back But you told me “No, that won't help.”
On that first day of school when you didn’t know anyone at all I was there so you wouldn’t feel afraid.
