The Corner of Your Heart

By LifeInEveryWord

Hunting Dingoes

For years I've been told exactly what to do by every guy I let into my life
And I made the excuses:
"He knows what's best for me"
"He's just acting like this because he cares"
And I had convinced myself that I was myself when they were around
But the truth is, I'm not shy
I know what I want and I'm really not afraid to go after it
No matter how wrong you think it is
I've just been hiding behind your protection for so long that I lost sight of what is right for me
The desire to experiment
The desire to be truly loved

I can taste the smoke circulating in my lungs
It tastes awful
And yet, it brings me so much pride
A middle finger up to the boys who thought I should be innocent, precious, and sweet
You didn't know me at all

Hands in the air in the field at dusk
You had no idea what you were missing
