They say the apple doesn't fall
Too far from the tree.
Unfortunately for me
Mine was planted on a hill...
So, when I fell off of that branch
At that ranch.
Shit got real.
Two sides of one family...
No, they don't know
Just how it feels...
-
I have two last names
The last is "Stephens."
But "Ivy" comes first...
Trying to ride
Both sides of the coin,
But I can't tell
Which side is worse...
I've been waiting
Hella patiently
For this to run its course...
But I've decided,
They're divided,
I don't want their damned remorse...
-
I'm the one and only black sheep.
The only one they pushed away...
And I can't tell you why they hate me,
I just keep them all at bay...
No, I don't care if they don't like me.
I don't hear the words they say...
I just keep things to myself
Most times.
Don't matter anyway...
-
I don't show up to their functions.
They don't come knock at my door...
They all think that I'm so different
Because they don't care to explore...
I don't send out greeting texts,
And they don't call me anymore...
I've been all along for decades,
What's a couple decades more?
-
If I were to die in my sleep
They would never know I passed...
They don't think about me, ever.
They'd never know that I crashed...
They would say things at my funeral
Like "He always made me laugh!"
But it would all be nothing true, you know?
An acting master class...
-
They don't know me.
I don't know them.
They don't owe me.
Don't console them.
When I leave, I'll leave in silence.
Shit, I've learned the silence from them.
All my sisters are just strangers.
All my brothers, I've outgrown them.
I'll just leave behind these pages,
Maybe all of this will blow them.
-
They say the apple doesn't fall
Too far from the tree.
Unfortunately for me
My little apple rolled into a valley...
Sadly.
The blue birds and the worms
Will never have me...
I'll never pass my seeds along,
My genes are sorta crappy.
Ivy/Stephens...
