Beautiful Enough

Meet a girl named No One, with a heart of shattered stone

Staring at the other girl, the one that's not alone

Girl with skin that glistens, with the eyes of crystal seas

Grin of shining diamonds and a laugh like a disease

Flashes just a glance and soon, she's every trouble's cure

She has everything… and No One's off to be like her. 

Eating turns into a crime, she'd rather be away

Thrusting fingers down her throat to make herself okay

Watching as her very bones are seen behind her flesh

There she drowns in tears, for she has not yet seen success.

Minutes turn to hours, and these hours turn to days

Every moment slipping, slowly fading into grey

Rapidly, her body turns to nothing but her bones

As she fights for beauty, as she battles for the throne.

Broken hearts must learn to beat, and this she came to know

Learning it the hard way when her heartbeat grew too slow

Yet, she somehow managed still to shine from what's within

Lying in her casket with her hidden, unseen sin.

Final thoughts inside her head scream through the broken skies

She had never reached her goal, the one that took her cries.

They never acknowledged how the torture was so rough

She was never beautiful… not beautiful enough…
