I always thought it would be funny
If for a day I stopped hiding my scars
I could pretend to be the Joker
and say, "You wanna know how I got these scars?"
And when people look upset I could say "Why so serious?"
idk, the ramblings of my sleep-deprived self after watching a couple Batman movies
Sick of him
Sick of this
Trying hard
This is It

Wish I knew
Wish I cared
Could be happy
Life's not fair

It's okay
It's alright
Won't give up
I will fight

Feeling nervous
Feeling scared
Keep on pushing
Almost there

Wonder how
Wonder why
This is life
I'll get by.
I'm her
That Girl
Who reads in the hallways
Who writes short stories
Who ducks her head in the halls
Who's scared of confrontation
That Girl
I'm her
I avoid love
In an attempt to save myself
It doesn't work.
I avoid trust
In attempt to help myself
It doesn't work.
That Girl
It's me
But I'm putting a whole new meaning
to That Girl
That Girl is brave
That Girl is smart
That Girl is beautiful
And somebody loves That Girl
I just have to find out why


*We are all That Girl.
I'm in love with the idea of you.
So let me know if that idea is true.
What's behind those eyes of baby blue?

For the image you keep is quiet pristine,
Handsome, strong, and squeaky clean.

So while you have all the check marks on my list,
I need to know the true you if I may persist.

I don't want these feelings to be merely a crush.
But boy, that smile of yours turns me to mush.

With your golden locks and casual air,
Try though I may, I can't help but stare.

I just want to hug you and run my fingers through your hair.
And if you don't mind, call you my big teddy bear.

Crushes are stupid. They make me feel lame.
Because getting your attention just seems like a game.

A smile's worth a hundred points, a wave plus two or three,
But minus ten for when you look away without even noticing me.

Acquaintances barely friends, that's all I am to you,
But I still hope that one day, I'll find out what's behind those baby blues.
It was a bitter pill and
a sour drink and
it was all the truth.

It was misery and
disaster and
it was all the truth.

It was glory and
sunshine and
it was all the truth.

Everything was the truth -
even the lies.
Never good enough

never good enough

never good enough
for anyone
