The Ugliest, Most Beautiful Girl
my style is a cover for how ugly i feel
any love I give myself I got at a steal
from compliments I don't believe
of pretty things I can't perceive
I've deceived myself about emotions
I indulge in others some devour my devotion
I'm left with a notion of neglect that I reflect upon
I brought it upon myself to defect starting dawn
I'm spawned from sensitivity
but my activities roar of reason
I'm a sored season of all weathers
please I tell my mirror I'm not ready for all my capable feathers
I fly broken winged
I belch out passioned sings
still I'm motionless in emotional things
I long to bring me to a compromising balance
instead of despising my very flaws and talents
because I will always just have all that I am
I want to love myself once again
