hey there pretty lady
I'm beguiled by your smile
do you think that maybe
you could stay awhile

I've a million things
I want to say to you
I've a whole lifetime
to spend loving you

I've been waiting for you
forever so long
now that I've found you
my heart is full of song

my gift of love
for you I declare
its fond endowment
we'll always share

hey there pretty lady
I'm beguiled by your smile
do you think that maybe
you could stay awhile

He saw...
an over made-up clown, eyes caked in shadow, lips redder than reality, cheeks on fire.

She was...
hiding the pain of her appearance, trying to look like the "norm", feeling hideous and needing a mask.

He heard...
her voice shrill and loud, her attitudes obtrusive, her opinions waivering with the crowd.

She was...
desperate to be noticed, drowning in self-doubt, craving reassurance, acceptance.

He felt...
she was cold and callous, harsh with her words, dark and unloving.

She was...
hurt to the point of no return, a soul full of love with no one to love, no one to trust.

He left.

She was already gone.
?
you try to fit in
but then people tell you to stand out.

what are you supposed to do with that?
because when you do stand out,
people criticize you and tell you to fit in.

society is not okay with you.
but as long as you are okay with you,
everything will be alright.

i promise.

It's at times like these that your favorite song
comes on the radio,
on this frigid, stale day
then it slips into your ears,
and everything becomes wizadry,
ecstasy flows through your veins the way the sting of the vaccine might,
though this time it is injected through your ears,
and it is pleasant.
It's at times like these that you have to get up
and dance your worries and tears and problems away,
forget the task at hand,
and to sing at the top of your lungs!
*impromptu dance party* i havent done enough justice for the way i feel whenever "somebody told me" by the killers or any other of my favorite songs come on...

Every scar we carry tells a tale.

A tale of who we are,
it is ours and ours alone,
individual as we are.

I wear all of my scars with pride,
and my tale that is uniquely mine.

I hold my head up high,
for this is my scar,
my tale,
no one else's,
I own it.
That awkward moment when
You realize your entire life
Your passions
Your opportunities
Your abilities
Are all made possible by the
Blood
Sweat
And Tears
Of people you will never even know
Existed
