You Make Your Own Story Has anyone ever noticed That teenagers are obsessed With love With drama With their own little lives Like they're the ones with the starring role Like the camera pans over them alone News flash my dear You don't quite fit the role You're not the only one with problems Not the only one Who waits at the window For the rain to let up Just because you have Scars on your wrists Or cuts on your thighs Or you stare a bit too long At the bottle of pills It doesn't make you unique Are you punishing someone? Because you're not the only one Who hurts when you die And a boyfriend or girlfriend Doesn't make happiness Love might help but It's you that makes your #life work No the ones who are truly impressive Are those Who have hardship And never lover their chin Who march on And make something of themselves Those are the people who end up In movies Who end up in books Because they changed things Themselves And they didn't need a romantic partner Holding their hand.
