Love Me In Pieces

i long to be the epitome of beauty

They say love and hate are two sides of the same coin

Yet I'm only stuck on one

All I do is count my flaws for fun

I walk on thorns until my feet bleed bare

I have self-destructive tendencies I don't want to share

I deserve the pain I go through by myself

Because being pretty is worth all the pain I've been dealt

If losing myself means gaining others love

Then I will give everything I ever had till push comes to shove

The only thing I've ever wanted to be is something I cannot

No matter how hard I try to achieve it it's something I can't be taught

My friends say I have beauty but that is so hard to believe

Because friends are supposed to support you even if it means lying to me

The word beautiful gives me butterfly's even when it's not about me

Being beautiful is all I've ever wanted to be
