the worst part about being nothing
is knowing nothing is commonplace
and, even though I thought I was so
special
I was exactly the same

     I'll never say your name
     because then this would feel real
     and I would have to accept
     that giving all I had
     never meant a thing

     does a wooden heart still beat,
     or does it only leave splinters?
     did you ever even think of me-
     the weak girl who believed in
     too many broken words?

s  p  i  n  e  less
I'd bend to any shape
if I thought it would be enough

but when I was finally measured out,
I was found to be worth less
than a lie

     I'm one of none, there's a
     million voices that sound just
     like they're my own. I know,
     I didn't deserve the truth.

     and I can promise that
     however badly you must think
     of my needly thoughts
     and weary wishes--
     I still think worse of myself.

I shouldn't expect answers from people
who cannot even give me
a passing thought

I don't understand this
architect's design [either]

   sing me a lullaby
   to make the mistakes go away


you'll never remember me.


     I wouldn't want you to.
The worst thing about lies is that they make me question myself.

This was a well written piece. Emotional and sad and the thing about making one question is sadly right. But I would hope that you do not beleive in lies that much :huggle: and have more self confidence!
