Priceless Beauty

You see me as picture perfect Like I'm worth it I see me as broken Like I'm worthless I have so many pieces of the puzzle missing To a picture that use to perfect I'm steady searching Steady trying to put pieces together But it's not working Yet I don't want you to see that pain in me So I force it Force a smile and a laugh here and there Pretend I don't care But it's hurting How do I tell you I hate myself a little more each day? Or it's hard to look in the mirror because my reflection turns the other way? Steady trying to find ways to get this picture perfect like it once was They say I gotta go back to the past And close some doors I walked away from them long ago So what for? I forgave everyone that treated me bad Including my "dad" The past isn't what I'm mad at I don't hold grudges It's water under the bridge It's the present that got me scared Searching for ways to make this picture perfect again like it use to be Searching for ways to make it picture perfect like you see in a art gallery Maybe one day it'll be Priceless beauty
