more like shameful.

abandoning your daughter,
leaving her for the wild wolves
or was that just her father?

sobbing every night,
wishing you would talk to her
wishing she could take back whatever she did
or did she not do anything?

maybe you just couldn't handle the fact
that she was everything she said she was
she tried her hardest at ignoring hate
and to strive forward in life
or maybe, maybe she was just like you?

no, she was exactly
unlike you.

pathetic
i saw you the other day, walking with a girl
it took me a minute
to realise
thats who you replaced me with

the sad part is
you actually seemed like you cared about her
which is more
than i can say you looked like
with me

Everybody keeps telling me those two words.
But it doesn’t help
They just don’t understand


They think it’s a phase
That it won’t last
But the truth is
Time has just already passed


I wish we didn’t have mirrors
What are they for?
Only for the girls that everyone adores


Perfection just like pearls
Are what those girls are


When you look at me
Ugly shell and all
And then my head starts ringing


I’m not perfect
And never will be
But I must be perfect
You’ll see.

Screams to be heard

No one to hear them

Blood caked on her wrists

No one to bandage them

Nightmares from her childhood

Coming alive

No one to save her

No one
