Ornaments

I was thinking I'm the tar pit The broken house where we collect Do you find it easier to live inside yourself Without mirrors to reflect? You're at a table all alone And I know, I know, I know There are things you say that you don't mean But can you please just treat me like I'm here I shouldn't be scared to speak But you know you won't let anything go Would you listen to yourself Just listen to yourself Someone please tell me how to do this I'll stop trying to stop you throwing ornaments at me Can't you see I'm so scared to speak I only talk when you're asleep But you won't look over your blockades to see Someone else struggling is not your enemy But I'm trying to remind you With every single cell of me I'm going to make you see this If I could be enough for you to treat me as your equal
