You may not think that you are
But you are beautiful
You may not see that you are
But you are beautiful
People may not say that you are
But you are beautiful
You may reject it
But you are
And always will be
Beautiful
This is for anyone who doesn't think they're beautiful!

Conversations
Make me happy
Usually...
Conversations with you
Make me happier
Usually...
I am happy
Sometimes...
I am sad
A lot...
But I'm me
Like that matters...
Smile
Why not...

What is up with this?
I do want to know
Madness it's all I've known
Crazy?
I probably am
Oh well
This again?
Stop please
I guess not
Why can't the thoughts go away?

You can't fight fire with fire
So we got rid of the fire
But we couldn't get rid of the pain

I create
This amazing life
In my head
To escape
And in this life
The one in my head
I'm still imperfect
I'm still sad
And I have
No one to trust
And I thank reality for that

I don't understand
I'm freaking out once again
I'm sorry
I truly am
What is wrong with me
I don't even like arguing '
Plus I never win
Talk to me
Please I want to know
Talk to me please
Fine I'll just go
