How am I expected to
put myself back together
when everyone scatters
more piece as they trample
through my life?
Everyday I smile,
think nothing of the secrets
or gossip
and all of self perception
and how people remember me.
I try to fix the
little flaws that nag at me everyday.
And seeing others make it worse.
Oh look at her, thats what I wish I looked like.
But no.
They tell us, Darling
you're much too perfect to
even consider the idea of change.
Or Stop comparing yourself to others
and cherish what you have.
And besides, if someone only likes
you for whats on the outside,
where they ever really worth it in the first place?
Sure, you can tell me that but
how does guy-meet-girl
come to be?
Think about it.
I saw her across the street,
Ya, you saw her
I droped my stuff
then when I lean down to
pick it up
our hands brush
and you look up at me
and BAM! love.
You looked at eachother
So how can you say, that if someone loves you
because of apperence
that it's a bad thing,
and no good relationship becomes of that,
than what do you call all the romance surrounding
our world?
So why shouldn't I worry
about how I look?
So why shouldn't I try so hard
to fufill the image of
perfect me?
It's not as simple anymore is it?
It's not as simple as what they tell you.
Because what they tell you
to reasure you about everything
and that may last,
but it's only temporary.
What you have to do, is try.
Try to be the person you want to be.
Try to achive what you want
but without critizing your
beautiful self.
And if people get in the way,
run
run past them
run around them
run as far away from them as you can
because they are not worth it.
Their input means nothing.
It holds you back and doesn't
let the real you,
the perfect you,
show.
