THIS SIDE OF MY SKIN

THIS SIDE OF MY SKIN

Let's start from the bottom,

From within and work our way out

Because you seei want you to know me

- my soul, my heart and my mind -

before taking a step back and realizing

that I'm not the one you want to have in your life.

Don't judge me for my cold stares

And don't you dare tell me that I don't care

If you've never had the patience

To listen to everything I have to say.

I might be rough round the edges

Not letting you in so easily

But thats only because I don't want to end up hurt

By people who have no intention of return.

Don't tell me you like me

That I'm fun and beautiful

You've never seen the dark side

The walking catastrophe

And the one that's changing constantly.

If you've never seen my tears

Or heard my rage

Never saw me cry from the most beautiful lethal page

Don't judge me for not acting my age.

I might not care about boys

Or give a damn about sex,

This generation is moving too fast

Without thinking twice about anything else.

I overthink constantly and if you're my friend

You know I'm always there

I overlove too

But only because I want to see the change in this world

And get people out of the place we love to call blue.
