I want to forget the days

Where the rainy clouds harassed me.

And everywhere I go I feel like

The literal definition of shit.

I can never be society's projectile image of

Perfect.

I'm in the selected group of

The labeled and the hopeless.

You'll stand as the naive hero,

and I'll love like a troubled poignant villain.

And like the flickering city lights

In the dark, slowly submerging past

The rain from a crappy weathered day, I'm not that far from other lights.

I remember in 7th grade, a guy

Who liked me told me to never leave

The house without make up because I

Was ugly. I still never do because of him.

The creativity of a kid's is limited.

I see this little girl playing with toys eager

To grow up, but she can't read yet.

She ignores me when she paints her pasta

And I tell her to never grow up. She can't

Read and she's already waiting for Prince Charming.
