What a gurl suppose to do? When everyone expect us to puts on the makeup, to be the corner store ***, to pretend like we happy
All da time being da motha, da sista, da daughter, the one
Who make everybody happy.

Everyone depend on us. We are beautiful woman! We strong,
And if man Kant treat us right. God kan! God betta den man.
God made man.

I'm made by god
if this is love make it stop
they can't be right

My brain
turns round and round
like a carousel
dazed and confused
for days
on end about
you.

Depression, for me, has never been the essence of beauty,
it's about cutting too deep like it's your duty,
and staying up until 4am crying your eyes out
feeling too weak to carry on and wanting to scream and shout.
It's about seeking amnesia from the end of bottles after drinking away the pain;
and sometimes it's about attempting suicide time and time again.
Deitada no chão frio,
Olhando as estrelas,
E vendo a Lua.

Eu vejo a sua face,
Desenhada em uma estrela qualquer.
Eu vejo o seu silêncio,

Andando em uma rua qualquer.
Foram noites e noites,
**** e vinho.

E eu gostava de você.
E eu olhava pra você.
Mas não, não te amava.
