Chapter 5 - Grown Up Kid

I can't relate to you anymore

You did this yourself

You built this wall with your own two hands

You burnt the bridge connecting us

And now there's nothing I can do anymore

I can only watch,

I can only watch as the bridge burns

And the wall just gets thicker and thicker

There's nothing I can do anymore

I really did try my best ,

To always smile,

To keep up my "little miss flawless perfect" act

To just be the best and ideal

The kid you could brag about

But I got tired

I got sad

The makeup couldn't cover up the flaws anymore

So I went to plastic and now I'm not human anymore

Please know I tried

I really tried hard

Even if it meant hiding my scars and not treating them

Even if it meant practicing a perfect smile at 3am after bawling my eyes out

Even if it meant loosing my mind

Even if it meant jumping into the flames to hold your hands just to know I'm there

Even if it meant learning architecture to bring back the bridge

I really tried everything

But I can't anymore

I'm all grown up now

And the scars don't really hurt anymore

I'm fine now and I hope you are too
