Independence | Anonymous

i’m perfectly

perfect

and capable

but i still need you

like fiona apple needs her jazz background

you know i believed her when she said she was better than fine

are we better than fine

because we feel a little worse

you feel a little worse than you did last night

when you were breaking my heart

but i’m perfectly perfect

and capable and fine

without you even glancing at me

but i still need you

like florence needs her romantic words

she finds that happiness is an extremely uneventful subject

and you’re finding it hard too

and i’m trying to be understanding

and helpful and lovely and sweet

when you’re giving nothing back to me

but i’m perfectly perfect and capable

and happy and fine

without your voice in my ears

but i need you

and i’m independent but i’m so upset

because you’re half in and half out

and i wish you could just leave the room

because i’m perfectly perfect and capable and happy and fine

without the nausea you give me

and the tears that you refuse to love

About the Piece: I was explaining to someone how I know I could live without them, but I still felt like I needed them. I’m independent, but you are the five people you’re closest to. I needed this person in order to feel like me.
