HAPPY EVER AFTER

You wanted me to be broken

so bad

That I went and got myself broken for you.

And I went and I cried for you.

And I went and I looked out the window

In a dreamy way

So you thought that I was sad enough

About all the things that were done to me

The violence, the injustice, the assault

The poverty, the illness, the loss

I went and I played being broken for you

So you could feel yourself

And be so strong.

And be so cool.

Until I realized

That I survived things you dont dare to have nightmares about

And i looked cute doing it

And I got up and I laughed

And nothing about me was ever weak.

And nothing about me was ever broken.

And you just couldnt say to my face

That you will never ever love me back.

And then I cried

And then I laughed

And then I danced

And then I lived.
