Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

you can tell

from the scars on my arms

and cracks in my hips

and the dents in my car

and the blisters on my lips

that i'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell

from the glass on the floor

and the strings that're breaking

and i keep on breaking more

and it looks like i am shaking

but it's just the temperature

and then again
if it were any colder i could disengage

if i were any older i could act my age
but i dont think that youd believe me


it's
not
the
way
i'm
meant
to
be

it's just the way the operation made me


and you can tell
from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon

and the pills that i ate
came a couple years too late
and ive got some issues to work through

there i go again
pretending to be you
make-believing

that i have a soul beneath the surface
trying to convince you
it was accidentally on purpose

i am not so serious
this passion is a plagiarism
i might join your century
but only on a rare occasion

i was taken out
before the labor pains set in and now
behold the world's worst accident
i am the girl anachronism

there i go again
pretending that i'll fall
don't call the doctors
cause they've seen it all before
they'll say just
let
her
crash
and
burn
she'll learn
the attention just encourages her

and you can tell
from the full-body cast
that i'm sorry that i asked
though you did everything you could
(like any decent person would)

but i might be catching so don't touch
you'll start believeing youre immune to gravity and stuff
don't get me wet
because the bandages will all come off

and you can tell
from the smoke at the stake
that the current state is critical
well it is the little things, for instance:

in the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses:
please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her...

i dont necessarily believe there is a cure for this
so i might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
i was too precarious removed as a caesarian
behold the worlds worst accident

I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
