Substitutiary Locomotion.

I can't seem to make myself give up.
I'm listening to all the songs that make me think of you. Because no matter how strong I am, no matter how many times I tell the dependants that "He's just a boy. And bottom line is, there's nothing he can do for you that you can't do for yourself," Sometimes, I find myself just as weak as them.

I picked myself up, and did what I could. I had my own Sir Halloween, but these days he's a local Wal-Mart version of my Summer Boy, who I can never let out of my life. Oh Mister Valentine, I wish I hate what you did to me, but I know I did it myself, and I know damn well that it has saved me from rock bottom, I was moving fast and I'm glad to be out, and you needed to be out from under me.

I am strong. Sir Halloween, you're a damn good time.
But I'm 18 with a bullet, and more than you can handle.
"Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not."

You don't know me like you think you do, I'm so much more. I write these things about you and paint darling little pictures in your anxiety-ridden head; I'm dancing circles around you, just to see if you can keep up. Guess not.

For all of you. For every accommodating, basic, calm, daring, emblematic, frisky, grinning, human, innocent, jumping, kept, limited, meek, nap-loving, official, pretty, quarantined, recent, scheduled, tidy, understandable, victorious, wholesome, xenial, young and zippered kid. Be strong. Learn to DGAF, harder than ever. Because it doesn't matter, and it really never has. Write your own stories about your own life for you to read, and don't let anyone else edit the pages for you. Roll your own joint and open your own drink, but always let them light your cigarette.

Live life, according to your plan.
Don't have one? It's alright, me neither.
Ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out; I wish I knew.

No matter how alone you think you are, you'll have a Mister Valentine. You'll have your own Sir Halloween, and you'll fight your own Popsicle Patty. We're all going through it too. If they don't want to stay in your life, or they can't handle you, that is most definitely their own fault, and you can absolutely do everything you already do without them.

Stand for you. Not for anyone.
You are always stronger than you think you are, better than you give yourself credit for.

Learn to DGAF harder than ever.
You've got this on lock,
And I will do my best to never let you down.
