she is happy she is kind she is flawed but she tries she tries so hard yet somehow its never enough she will burn herself out and they all say "well tough" she cries all the time she never sleeps in this town shes so tired of being the loud one that always needs to be perfect but she wont ever break because she wont let anyone down so yes she is happy yes she is kind but she wont let her flaws be seen shes too trapped inside her mind so they see her as selfish they see her as slow they see her as messy it shows so much it becomes all she knows so now she sees herself as stupid never up to par the backup plan irrelevant and useless the one they forgot in the backseat of the car she is such a bad girl she cant even clean her own house stop talking your voice is too loud why are you so quiet like a mouse she can never just be there she always has to be who they want her to be everyone counts on her being who she is and she hates making people upset so she takes that knee the truth is she hates herself wakes up asking why today why cant i just die in my sleep no one would care anyway shes always second choice and no one chooses her on their own and why would they she thinks im young and dont have socials or a phone she knows shes the "immature one" the one they can always laugh at because she's always doing something silly like talking to her cat when will she be enough for you when will you stop treating her like **** because if you lived a day in her shoes you would crumble and fall not keeping up the bit so she puts on a brave face everyday her lonliness like a tatoo struggling with anxiety depression and ADHD if she tells someone they say "oh not you!" so you wonder why she likes solitude why she stays up late to be alone why she loves to escape to perfect worlds in books why she is sad to her very bones so she is messy she is sweet shell give you her drink if yours spills make you a cake that wont be beat why, well because her heart is too big she love too hard so right from the beginning she shows all her cards if you only take one thing let it be this just because she is always smilling doesnt mean her life is bliss
