Things I Wish I Didn't Have To Say.

These things I wish I didn't have to say

But you've always gotten in my way

You're the one who gave me trust issues

I should have paid attention to those obvious clues

I thought we could work

But it turns out you're just a jerk.

 

I hate to give any credit to you

But whenever I see you those moments are cued

Us back in that stupid 8th-grade class

And then I see myself shatter just like glass

Back when everyone thought we were cute

God how I wish I could have pressed mute.

 

People say "Oh you were too young"

but really, it still stung.

People say "You're just a dumb blonde"

but they still don't see how I was getting conned.

People say a lot of things

but only I see those moments he would bring.

 

Now when I see you I know I've evolved

Although some problems haven't been solved

Now the only thing I see

Is how great I can be 

Because of the moment I realized

I don't need you.

This piece was inspired by a boy who shattered me, and how I glued myself back together.
