safety pins hold the world together

the girl who pinned up her clothes
because she was too shy to ask for new ones

**

it's easy to vegetate
it's easy to blame the world
for your sorrows
and sit back and do nothing
it's easy to let the world
defeat you
that's what lazybones do

**

but she wanted out
she wanted happiness

**

and she decided that
that she is not going to
let the world defeat her

**

if it meant doing things
she never thought she could
if it meant pushing herself
over the edge
and in front of a train
she would

**

because defeat was foreign to her
