Do you know me?

Do you take my words at face value?

Come now

Understand who I am

Don’t take my words

As I try to put myself in a corner

Into a box

To make myself smaller

‘I am a bonus, not a priority

Don’t worry about me, do what makes you happy

I’m fine, go about your day

I’m low maintenance

There’s nothing special you need to know’

I am a priority

I do take up space

I need attention

I am very special

Do fucking worry

Because I’ll be the last thing you think about

You’ll become obsessed with this girl

Who makes your life so much easier

So much better

‘Because I’m a bonus’

Until you realize that I was only using you

Testing you

As I built my walls higher

As you couldn’t even be bothered to look at me

To see the bricks I used to build it

Hiding myself further and further from you

As I told the lies

But why wouldn’t you believe my words

Why would you question

The phrases you wanted to hear

I am the girl you have always wanted

Always dreamed of

But you don’t even know me

Or want the real me

And trust me

The real me

Doesn't fucking want you

I am a priority!
