Starfall

A Poem by AlmostWhatIWant

Would you believe me if i told you i was ok
I hope through all this time of breakdowns
Youve learned better and arent about to trust me
Especially when it comes to things like this
Things like how im pretending to be stable
And hanging on for one more last dance
At a school shooting, on prom night, on the dance floor

Would you believe me if i told you i could shoot
I really dont think you should, hell id be
So damn scared, i know id be shaking, crying
Trying to point your end at you and hoping
I wouldnt revert to type and turn it on me

Its nights like these when a bombing lights up the sky
That i know your truely alive
Out there, somewhere, trying to make everything all right
Trying to take the system down
Trying to free me, and take the control out

Would you believe me if i told you theres a tracker
A little microchip in all of our skulls
And no matter where we go or how safe we are
Its all an illusion and self imposed state of mind
And were all five seconds away from our current
To being 'Oh her?' 'She died'
No ones going to care when your not there

Would you believe me if i told you none of this
Was any more true on the lies sold to you
When you knew no better than to trust
Everything the censor said to you and
The end of the world was your bike
Gathering rust

Its nights like these when a bombing lights up the sky
That i know your truely alive
Out there, somewhere, trying to make everything all right
Trying to take the system down
Trying to free me, and take the control out

My little terrorist, my little criminal
Ill always love you, no matter what you do
My sad little heart, my so confused moral compass
Dont try to tell me what i never knew
My little terrorist, my little criminal
Ill always love you, no matter what you do
