i don’t know
i just wish i wasn’t normal
if i wasn’t normal
would that change your mind?

i don’t know
i just wish i wasn’t ugly
if i wasn’t ugly
would that change your mind?

i don’t know
i just wish i wasn’t breathing
if i wasn’t breathing
would that change your mind?

i don’t know
i just wish i hadn’t loved you
if i hadn’t loved you,
would i be alive?
third stanza and title are lyrics from a snippet of ‘i don’t know, i just wish i wasn’t breathing’ by billie eilish <3

I was standing in purple light and you said that you remembered that the first thing you thought was: "**** she's ugly."
I burst down
Of laughter
Than after we walked out of the light.
And you said that I was the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.
I'm sorry, this is such a bad "poem"
It's about someone that I love so maybe that will make it up?

People called him
short, stout, comical-looking,
but I felt compassion for him
and I wondered
what experiences
would give him
joy and happiness?

I didn't realize,
how easily I believed you
and let you break me.

You convinced me,
my beauty was ugly,
my strengths were my weakness,
my pride was my shame
and that I was inferior.

You made me believe,
a reality which was hurting me,
and I accepted what you made
me believe.

Art
Art doesn’t have to be beautiful,
It can be *****,
Ugly,
Sad,
Malicious,
But it is still beautiful

Sun carved silhouettes,
Darkness from light.
Things that grow,
In the shadow.
Crawl out in the night.
There is no such thing as an ugly art,
But an ugly heart.
Every art has its own meaning by the one who made it.

an appalled
complexity
wished to be
converted
by happiness
and soulful
thoughts

she carried
the heaviest
weight of
unease that
people would throw
with the foundation
of unfaithful bliss
wished to be sowed

rough edges
and pathways to cross
she swore to herself
they are not
a big loss
