Title: Precious Illusions


You'll rescue me right?

In the exact same way they never did.

I'll be happy right?

When your healing powers kick in

You'll complete me right?

Then my life can finally begin

I'll be worthy right?

Only when you realize the gem I am?


But this won't work now the way it once did

And I won't keep it up even though I would love to

Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am







This ring will help me yet

as will you knight in shining armor

This pill will help me yet

as will these boys gone through like water




And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am







I've spent so long firmly

looking outside me

I've spent so much

time living in survival mode




And though I know who I'm now I still don't know who I am











Ooohhhhh....
