this is an old piece, so some of you may be familiar with it, but it’s an important piece i think about a lot.

i know it’s not
who they wanted us to be
but i really like
who we’re turning out to be

it’s taken us this long to realise
that we’re on the same side
it’s us against the world,
we don’t have to fight
for a single spot
when there’s room for three

together we’ll fight
against our father’s sins
and our mother’s anger
we’ll fight the darkness
lurking in our brains,
telling us to fight each out
and ourselves.

being on the same side,
means we can share our lives
instead of hiding them
on blogs and texts

they had plans for us,
to live out their dreams
but we’ll forge our own paths
whatever they may be

i know it’s not
who they wanted us to be
but i really like
who we’re turning out to be
