Brittle Bones

I’ll stop blaming myself when all my actions equal up to my heart
And I can find the room to breathe
At least I have a sense of self, and I’m not afraid of change
I’ve seen the strangest places and they’re crying out my name
I have a sense of self, so there’s no one else to blame
I’ve seen the kindest faces and remember all their names
I’ve felt just how you feel, close if not the same
If you’re lucky to have a lover, let your walls dissipate
I have a sense of self, and I’m not afraid of pain
These ambitions on my shoulders will put me in my grave
When I’m spent
