This one is for the ugly girl

Who wears her awkwardness like a kick me sign

Who stares at you with squinted eyes

Mouth agape

Thinkin’

I really wish I understood this mess

She is not an ugly duckling

Passing time till that one moment where

She just shines

No

It was just me that day watchin you in the audience

The way you play

Like your fingers were hammers

It sounded like a warning

And suddenly we all knew there was a fire going

Vagrant and unnoticed in some corner of the world

But you managed to hear its sound

And pounded it out for as long as it lasted

So I went straight home after

That fire burning in the hollow of my chest

I wrote this

This is for you

The girl who does more than just wear her heart on her sleeve

She wears it like a compound fracture

Sticking out of the front of her chest

Red like an apple placed on the head of a small child

And there’s always someone with a bow and arrow

Bulls eye is always heartbreak

Near hits a dime a dozen

People say she’s ugly but her heart is huge

Not because she’s nice

But because its swollen
