Golden Lives         by Lucy Travers

Not a secret to hold
An open book
All too easy
For you to tear me apart
What matters the most
Is how this looks on you
Well I'm sorry
For being such a burden
On your golden lives

I've tried being invisible
Turns out I wasn't invisible enough
For I still trod on your toes
I've tried being silent
But the silence must've been too much
For how loudly you had to scream
Just to drive me out

Stop all this guessing
My problems aren't that deep
I'm just a girl who's fed up
Lonely and unwanted
I want an escape I want to wake up now
From this nightmare I'm only sorry
That you're in it with me

I'm sorry for being such a burden
On your golden lives
