If I could see
All the things
You see in me
Maybe hearts would sing

If I could banish
My insecurities
Awkward tension would vanish
And you would still adore my impurities

If I could understand you
And you understood me
Maybe to you I'd be true
And you'd see the girl you ought to see

If I could accept praise
I'd be the vixen your heart desires
I'd make your heart beat raise
with lusts burning pyres

If I could
Maybe I should
Would that please you?
I think it would

Me

Being me is hard, trying to make people impressed. It takes me off my guard, and makes me feel depressed. Everyone is yelling, Making me cry inside. I just keep telling myself to forget it and hide.

On the brink of something new, Should I fly, is it too soon. If I fall, I'm scared I'll crash... Is it worth the break and smash.

More Than Lovely

You make me feel like I'm not a waste. Your color fills up all empty space. And your voice sounds like a symphony. I just can't see how you could fall for someone like me.

Sorry

Sorry I'm not perfect. Sorry I'm not true. Sorry I'm not happy. Sorry I'm not you. Sorry I'm not there. Sorry I'm not extraordinary. Sorry I'm not thin. Sorry I'm just ordinary. Sorry I'm outspoken.
