Shallow
Don't have pity on me
Just because I may not be as beautiful as they
Or as smart
Or as talented

Or have as many friends
Or as much money

Or that my anxiety kicks in around them
Or that I wish to hide forever

Or that my words are shallow and forgotten
Or that my voice is drowned out in a sea of strangers
And that I can't find myself anymore

But don't have pity on me
Because even though I am broken
And my lips sing the sweet sound of blasphemy
There remains one voice in the back of my mind

Determination.
Ginger Feb 2018
Since I can remember, guess I been a problem
Never had a filter, never been the popular one
To sugar coat what I know is undeniable
I just can't hide it, I wear it like a letter
Everywhere I go, everyone is talking
I can feel them staring, they hope I'm just pretending
And giving up my power, caving into pressure
I'm not living for them, I live for something better
I'm not good enough, I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what, I know who I am
So just throw me out for not fitting in
I will stand my ground and be an outcast
So what if I'm an outcast?
So what if I'm an outcast?
So what if I don't look the part I'm supposed to play
What if I don't follow all the rules they make
They think I should be perfect, they love it when I mess up
No grace…

There is an enemy
Dressed as a friend
The picture of deceit
Who knows the end
We are standing here unafraid
In the lions den
‘Cause the power strong enough to save
Is running through our veins

We are the brave
We'll never break
Whatever it takes
We're gonna make it together
We're chasing out fear
You're not welcome here
Now and forever
Love is always gonna win the fight
Because the blood runs deep inside
We are the brave
A storm is on it's way
I can hear the sound
We will bend like trees that sway
But we won't fall down, down
The power strong enough to save
Is running through our veins

He said that I would never be
A silhouette that he would want
I shifted shape and recreated me
The girl I was, I soon forgot
A love like that won't last long
So suddenly it all goes wrong
When beauty starts to fade

But You say I am beautiful
I don't need the world's approval
Only you madly pursue me
And jealously tell me
I am worthy of
Furious love

With all you have and all you are
Your universe was incomplete
In a sea of silver stars
Still the sky was dark
And so you dreamed of me
A love like that is all I want
I don't ever have to be what I am not
God, I love the way

You say I am beautiful
I don't need the world's approval
Only you madly pursue me
And jealously tell me
I am worthy of
Furious love

Your passion is a fire
An all consuming fire
I can't get enough
Furious love

You say I am beautiful
I don't need the world's approval
Only you madly pursue me
And jealously tell me
I am worthy of
Furious love

Your passion is a fire
An all consuming fire
I can't get enough
Furious love

I never want you to know
You were made for perfection
Not created defective
On this mechanical planet
You were not meant to be
Just some broken machine
On this mechanical planet
So I'll distract you
I will attack you
And keep you focused on me
I'll make you fall in love with deception
You won't know what to believe

To everyone who is in Pain,
Try to show Happiness in your Life
For those around you are suffering with you in your Pain
Try To Smile and Try to show joy and love
Ginger Oct 2016
When it rains,
the grass seems greener
When it rains,
the clouds seem thinner
When it rains,
The sun starts to shine
When it rains
the pain is washed away

— The End —
