_{i think that sometimes... people overestimate me.
they think i'm great, but i prove them wrong
every time (i don't mean to... i.. i don't mean to)

time that s t r e t c hes on,
bleeding black ink onto blank, perfect paper, slo w l y

just a mistake, i'm--

high
never good enough, for their expectations.
my feathers have long since

left me hopeless, never going to fly
never going to find my wings
never going to... n-never....

but they think i will. they always think i will.
haven't i proved them wrong enough times?

haven't i hurt the ones i love the most enough times?
....shouldn't i have learned by now?

i'm nothing like what they make me out to be.
just a nobody. a nobody with too much to say,
but no time to say it.

wordless.
silent.

alone (eventually).}
