I paint a self portrait of Princess Pathetic
I am the only one who has an empty seat beside them on the night bus
my throne is built of validation from boys I don’t desire and compliments that doesn't mean shit
never have I ever
been in love with the idea of someone
something
and I empty my glass
it takes two to tango
but one to dance the death dance
dance and die on the dance floor like the solitaire heir
stupid, blind and insincere
I don’t want to be here
cover up, they say
I say
so I cover up
and my self portrait keeps getting darker
