Life is such a scary thing
Oh, to simply think...
I was happy once

A braced smile
And clumped mascara
With positivity and self confidence
I was happy then

I loved myself
And I was determined in all I did
Refusing to let anyone down
I was happy then

A fake smile
With no makeup and no self-esteem
Seeing no point in trying to hide my ugly face
I wish I was happy again

I hate myself
And I can't do anything right
All I do is let people down
I wish I was happy again

Death is not such a scary thing
But then I met him...
I think I might be happy now
Putting my happiness in the hands of a boy is not wise but I can't help the way I feel...
