Little Splinters

I'm going to plan

Too many coffee dates

And when morning approaches

That's when I will flake

Inconsequential

Why can't you let me be

I don't want you to need me

Just want you to please my every whim

Oh such whimsy

I wish that I could breathe

In air cold like winter

It keeps me on my toes

Oh little splinters

One day trees will grow

Oh little splinters

One day trees will grow

Homecoming queen

But no date to the dance

Sneaking in chips

In a black bodega bag

Posted a topless pic

Call it an attention grab

To be well liked can feel so small

When you just want one to love your all

Sometimes vulnerability just looks like trash

Shared it just to scare myself and then to have

To let it go

To let it go

I have wasted years

Trying to escape fear

I have wasted years

To let it go

But this year I wanna move in it

Like a muddy swamp

This year gonna dance with it

Like i'm at the prom

Oh little splinters

One day we will grow

Oh little splinters

One day we will grow

One day we will grow
