She is so self-conscious,
She doesn’t realize everyone is falling for her smile
Most of her time is spent in the mirror
Taking note of everything that isn’t “perfect”
In her mind, she’s obsolete, someone easily forgotten
She blinks and her world disappears
To one where she’s completely happy with herself
She never becomes intimate if she thinks the opposite of what she stands for
Life has thrown her a bad hand and in all the darkness,
There isn’t anything she can do about it
Until she begins to see her real beauty, she will never begin to accept her outer
It’s a process which takes a lot of growth and self discovery,
I speak of it, because I know
Life throws one lots of shit plays,
But in the end it’s up to us to catch it
And throw something awesome back
We’re all one of a kind,
It just takes time to realize it
