Splinter

Every word you ever said

Is a splinter in my head

Buried so deep, I can’t get it out

Buried so deep I will never forget

All the truths mixed with lies

Or the darkness in your eyes

Sometimes I will dig

But it just sinks deeper

I dig and dig, I scream, I shout

But there is no use, your freaking stuck

In the back of my mind you play your games

You tell me I need to be perfect

But I must play by your rules

You even gave me the tools

Bought me the books

Fed me more lies

Well you may be a splinter in my brain

But that’s all that you are

You have no power over me

You may be my burden to bear

But you have no control over my life

And one day I will pull you out

My reminder of you

I fucking swear
