One of me sways to music, stays smiling
Reaches my arms up to fractured ceilings
I’m flying high tonight I say
Happy lies I tell myself
To face the faces in the mirror
One of me is sinking in the corner
Ninety degrees of doubt and secrecy
Seas of worries churning in my chest
See me, please don’t see me
I tuck close my wriggling fears
One of me holds back your hair, taking care
Tricking you so you think I’m kind
Clasping my arms around you too tight
And squeezes the friendship from your bones
Leaving you to gasp in my toxic air
One of me is talking on the couch
Awkwardimmaturebumbling
Always says the exact wrong thing
Open my mouth to laugh, just for
Apologies and excuses to claw free
But by now I am tired of lies and doubts and sorries
And so I turn to face those faces in the mirror
To set free my needless fears
To breathe in the party’s magnetic air
And apologize, this time to myself, for forgetting
One of me has fun dancing
One of me needs time alone
One of me is a good friend
One of me will talk with you for hours
All of me can have a good time at this party
All of me is enough
