girl school mean
There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can't do.

heart want
The thing about hearts is that they always want to keep beating
hate confused mean
love is...you get confused and you do stuff you don't mean to do-and you just-you hate yourself and sometimes you don't even want to love the person you do because it would be so much easier if you didn't.But you just-you just do.
love-you people what-if
And what if---what are you if the people who are supposed to love you can leave you like you're nothing?

I do not fall. I fell so hard so long ago there is nothing left for me to land on. I just keep falling and falling and falling.
