you get one day to cry
but tomorrow
it’s time to fix your crown

Turns out
I’m nothing
To anyone I want to matter to

Your words are like water off a duck's back
All I hear is quack quack quack
So go swim away while I see another day
I'm on my own, I'm on the loose
Cause you are not my mother goose
You try to make me shatter
But it doesn't really matter
Cause when you talk I hear quack quack quack
And it slides right off my little ducky back

today,
i wore it again
and people complimented me
they say red is my color
and it suits me.

today,
it's too thick and dark
did i overapply
no, it's the right amount
just enough
to make them think
i'm fine.

today,
i look at myself
in the mirror,
and they're right
red shines on me,
so i applied
another layer,
and another
until my lips felt too thick,
but my eyes still see
the scars beneath it.

We fell in love by chance,
We stay in love by choice.

These words are for me,
For I'm the one who's hurting,
I'm just healing myself.
