"In a gentle way, you can shake the world." -Mahatma Ghandi


My lips are puffy,
My nose is stuffy,
My eyes are red and wet.
My hands are shaking,
My ego is breaking
All I want to do is forget.
I write this song,
And sing along,
To words I know aren’t true;
He loves me,
I love him,
He thinks I’m beautiful.

My heart is breaking
My voice is shaking
My lips, they miss your smiling ones
You never loved me
You only fooled me
Your smile, it tricked me, you weren’t the one
Why do you do this,
Playing your games,
The rules, they change every day.
I tried, so hard, with all of my heart,
To forgive your foolish mistakes,
But I guess I’m not good enough,
Guess I’m just not pretty,
Enough for you to love me back.

I’ll never learn,
It’s none of my concern,
To see how happy you’ve been,
I’ve tried to convince
Myself to not miss
Your smiling, shining face,
But how hard I’ll try,
I’ll never know why,
I always end back up at you.


The author's comments:
I wrote this right after somebody broke up with me, but I'm not sharing anything intense or crazy personal in this piece.

This isn't even a fully finished song, but still, please, don't hate. Stay pretty.
