Little Splinters

I'm going to plan
Too many coffee dates
And when morning approaches
That's when I will flake

Inconsequential
Why can't you let me be
I don't want you to need me
Just want you to please my every whim

Oh such whimsy
I wish that I could breathe
In air cold like winter
It keeps me on my toes

Oh little splinters
One day trees will grow
Oh little splinters
One day trees will grow

Homecoming queen
But no date to the dance
Sneaking in chips
In a black bodega bag

Posted a topless pic
Call it an attention grab
To be well liked can feel so small
When you just want one to love your all

Sometimes vulnerability just looks like trash
Shared it just to scare myself and then to have
To let it go
To let it go

I have wasted years
Trying to escape fear
I have wasted years
To let it go

But this year I wanna move in it
Like a muddy swamp
This year gonna dance with it
Like i'm at the prom

Oh little splinters
One day we will grow
Oh little splinters
One day we will grow
One day we will grow
