I dare you not to love me Well, at least to try Don't fall for my quirky personality Or sly smile Or the way my eyes light up When presented with an open flame Don't become enchanted With the way I can still see the world As a beautiful place Full of so much mystery That I treat every day as a surprise Like a small child ready for adventure Don't listen to me Ramble on about my passions And unique opinions that Beg to differ with the norm And do not applaud me For knowing that I'm beautiful In a world set on making people Believe that they're ugly I dare you to look at me Split open My thoughts Beliefs Experiences Spilling out Everything that I am right in front of you And not fall in love Because I believe that anyone can fall in love When they see the parts of someone That no one else gets to see And when you love me I dare you to open up And let me love you
