you may say im going crazy

but pretty is something i dont want to be

because being pretty means vulnerability

and being vulnerable is the enemy

 

i'd rather be unnoticed, average, and plain

cause thats how i can stay sane

when you strip off the colors, i still remain

and the person in the mirror matches the one in my brain

 

dull and drab grabs no attention

and those ignored have a suspension

of lies and chastisement and are rarely mentioned

in daily gossip and people questions

 

under the radar, standing on the edge

a have a few  friends, and thats as far as i stretch

i have no need for frivolous dredge

of the popular, pretty, and so well dressed

 

i have no desire to join their cliques

to me, its naive, to be someone they pick

to be worthy to be in their presence and stick

around until they toss you like an old cracked brick

so i don't need to be pretty, popular, or known

i just need a life to call my own

cause my whole life all ive been shown

is the hate of this world towards the cut-out clone
