    Kidding. Same old bitching. Only none of them are quite polished yet.

    1.
    You can't tell me you'll be here
    When you haven't any intention
    You can't make me wait
    Just because you don't care
    You can't abuse my kindness
    When that is all I've ever offered
    You can't be so fucking selfish
    Just because I'm vulnerable


    2.
    You didn't break it
    My heart is not yours to break
    It's been shattered so many times
    You just stomped a shard beneath your shoe
    Like a cigarette when you're through with it


    3.
    There's no room for me
    The hallway is my new home
    Near the drug addict
    And the violent teenager
    Nurses don't seem to see me
    In this lonesome plastic bed
    It's only a Volcano
    In those sweaty sheets
    My only visiter my mother
    I just had to turn myself in

    lol is that good or bad? On one hand it means it must have touched you, but does anyone like having a razor on their brain?

    2 and 3 are sharp and poignant. Raw emotion but not as unpolished as you think. IMO
    1 didn't have the same effect, though the last 2 lines were great!
