My dad came home from
Work one day
He gave me a look
A look like something was up
He brings in the empty oreos
And asked me were did they all go
I looked at my stomach
He said I thought so
I told him they were creamy and good
He said I'm glad you thought so
I told him how I was going to save him one
But I decided to eat it instead
He said now that's quite the tease

I look in the mirror
Put on a lot of make-up
Untill I don't recognize myself anymore
Tell myself im not as pretty
as those other girls
Walk the halls with a fake smile on my face
Trying to make it through the day
I go into the bathroom look in the mirror
I can't even face the girl I see in the mirror
It's not me it's a mask to cover up reality
That I am not perfect
I went home
took a shower
As I watch my mask disappear
Revealing the true me
It's me in my own skin
It's me with the acne
It's me who is lying to me
Thinking that all my problems will be solved
If I was just pretty enough
If I was skinny enough
But at the end of the day it's me vs me
The girl in the mirror facing the girl looking in the mirror
And my naked skin
My acned up face
Me not pretending to be someone that I'm not
This is me
And I'm good enough being me.
Im starting a challenge to be true to who you are for a week wear your hair down. No makeup fancy dress. Get comfy in your own skin!

I was yours
And you were mine
I let you steal my heart
Never thinking you would rip it apart
Staying up late
Tears flowing from my face
Remembering what we had
I never knew my heart could break this hard
Uncontrollable tears
Black mascara on my pillowcase
Thinking of you
Sleeping in bed with mom
she ensures me it’s going to be okay
She gently strokes my hair
As tears flow from my face
She reminds me
nobody is worth this many tears
But all I can remember are the lies
How you were mine
and I was yours
I never knew my heart could ever break this hard

Your the center of my heart
The aching pain
The nightmare that won't go away
Thump, tump goes my heart
The way you play with your hair
I blush heart races
Thump, tump here we go again
Your what i like to call
My true love

I'm sorry charlie
I stole your Harley
I hope you know I'm truly sorry
I wanted to look cool
With a Harley brand new
I drove it to school
It landed in a pool
I was doing a trick and now I feel sick
I'm sorry charlie
I stole your Harley

Everybody thinks I'm this imperfect child
The try and change me shape me
Like a cloud in the sky
Call me whatever you want
You can change my outside
Mascara, eyeliner, perfume
But you can't change my inside
Because that is me

The sweet joys you brought me
The laughs you have created to me
You told me you would never leave me
Laugh, change we were supposed to do it together and be together forever
I never knew you would find someone better
I wonder if you still remember me
Or if i was another big mistake
Tears dripping from my face
You never said goodbye
1,2,3 you were gone just like that
This left scars, bruises open gaps
But heaven knew the right path
