I guess a "Congratulations" is in store.
I mean, it's only fair.
You made it to the top with manufactured happiness.
Just don't forget who you stepped on to get there.
You starved yourself for months,
Colored your hair, and pushed others away
So you'd look like everyone else.
Just don't forget who you stepped on to look that way.
You created a personality I don't recognize,
One you used to mock.
Maybe it was one you secretly wanted.
Just don't forget who you stepped on to get it.
I always told you you were beautiful
And that you didn't need their approval.
But I guess you didn't hear me.
Just don't forget who you stepped on to believe that.
Why do you still confide in me
With your secrets, hopes, and fears?
Are you afraid to show them your true self?
Just don't forget who you stepped on to feel that way.
Why put so much effort into being someone else
When half of them don't even care?
I hope it was worth it.
Just don't forget who you stepped on to achieve it.
How's the view from your pedestial?
I bet I'm not even visible from way up there.
How does it feel to live with so many restrictions?
Just don't forget who you stepped on to get there.
You've created this war against yourself.
Working so hard for their friendship,
When all the while you should've made yourself
The one worth knowing.
Just don't forget who you stepped on to realize that.
I'm a burden that's losing significance.
Too many steps and scrapes have worm me out.
I hope you never have to come back down,
Because the one you've always stepped on
Will not be there.
