No Ones More Damaged Than Me
It’s becoming harder to recall
A day and time when I awoke without prompt
Carefully clothed, standing tall
While studying my reflection, Not flinching at all
Manicured and groomed
Humming a tune
Leaving a trail of good vibes, as I danced down the hall
It’s difficult, you see
For someone like me
To feel adequate, important or wise
Most of my days, I’ve been ashamed
Hiding my average eyes
I hang my head low
Every place that I go
For the fear that someone may see
What I don’t want to show
I don’t need them to know
No one’s more damaged than me
