Three cheers for five years

I quit
I give the fuck up
No longer am I getting close to anyone
I'm shutting my doors and closing my blinds
To anyone who dares to get inside of me
and under my skin
Because it's too much pain when they decide to throw you out
Over something you didn't even know you did
You 'allegedly' did
It's so much easier to go through high school
With the mind set that these people; these aquaintances
Are temporary
So when they leave it doesn't burn inside of you
It doesnt feel like a thorn is digging deeper and deeper
into your side
5 years essentially wasted on a friendship I didn't think would end
That's almost a third of my life time
And just because some petty drama
Decides to seep thru the cracks
Everything falls down; everything we've been through and have overcome
Doesn't mean so much anymore
It's funny... In a not-so-funny way how we let this happen
Everyone has experienced this
And it's funny...In a not-so-funny way
How even though we've all gone through this, we still don't manage to change.
Because it's easier not to
And that's why our world will continue to be as fucked up
As it is right now.


"People can change, but they don't. They don't because it's easier not to. We're always waiting for our lives to begin, like, figuring we'll be somebody else someday. But what are we waiting for? All we have is now."
