I should've known by now
what it was you said to me
I should've grown and somehow
become who you planned for me to be

I should've owned by now
the things in me, Ive buried deep
Should have shown by now
If there were any worth
Inside of me.

I shouldve sewn by now
Seeds with roots, digging deep
Instead of being, seeing how'
I bear no fruit, just fields of weeds.

I should have flown by now
Felt the earth part ways with my feet
should've honed, instead of drown
in what you intended to be
beneath my wings.
