Average
Some say I live it good
But thats not what burns inside
I'm still the girl who tosses in the night
People smile when I walk by, and comment on how nice I am
But, would they still think that if they touched the depression I have swam?
Some days I sit there shaking wondering what I shall do
I wonder if my parents footsteps are the ones to pursue
I don't know who I am or who I'm meant to be
And people need to stop with “there are plenty in the sea”
How great a love is when it burns from within
But the embers don't always last and something eventually dies
Like him, for example
Will never be mine.
It does not matter if I paint a pretty picture
or look him in the eye
All ill ever be is average
and thats not alright with me
Because we always want what we cant have
and I hate how that is true
But I can't seem to let go,
I just can't seem to move
He is everything I want
and everything I can't have
He is in love with someone opposite of me
and slowly that ember dies, waiting to be set free
My heart yearns for love
but time can only tell
For now I'm only average.
Caught, between heaven and hell.
