My legs are about to fall out from under me and
My mouth tastes like vomit and car exhaust but
It was nice not to think for a little while and
the pounding in my head feels better
than the pounding in my heart
and I'm tired of convincing people I'm worthy of their love
just once I want it to be easy
like falling asleep
just once I want someone to see stars in me
and not just the dust and dirt I'm made of
