When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
