"People will like you better if you smiled more"
This repetitive sentence said by many, scars into the deep recesses of my brain
Smile more?
show your pearly whites as a sign you are no foe but friend
Open your mouth and curve your lips in the upward motion because I find it appealing
They are no longer threatened
How grand you like me
But at what cost?

Never single always waiting always wanting that's her right?
Her name wasn't said but she popped up right?
Desperate blonde blue eyed me right? Always with someone hardly talking to you right?
Perfect life perfect boyfriend right?
That's where you're wrong
She wants to be single he won't let her
She's scared to fight so she dyes her hair and places contacts because he says so
He says don't speak to him so I don't
Abusive boy teenager terrible man
This is when you're wrong

The lipstick sitting on your desk begs and pleads to feel the soft touch of your lips,
Waiting wanting wishing
That foundation doesnt want to be used as a foundation for a new beginning no to cover up the old?
Yes
Let's build and cover up what everyone thinks is disgusting anyway
20$ mascara let's use it yeah?
While some use pencils to create beautiful works of art your pencil would rather blend in with the eye lashes that paired up with glue and assaulted you
But hey these are your friends

Distracted? No this could never happen,
They said my attention span was like that of a gold fish,
They're pretty aren't they swimming with grace and poise,
Grace is what ballerinas have right?
What was I saying? Right distracted nope never happened In a way only I can understand
I zone out, wait why'd I come in here, relatable
Where was I going with this?

Addicted
Addict
Fear is the only addiction I've ever known,
Raging from the deep recesses of my mind wondering if I'm worth an invitation,
Invitation to join the big league you would call Harvard I don't think so,
Invitation to join this club to share what is passion I consider
Addiction yes I am addicted to these words that come alive only few can understand

— The End —
