Forget to Remember

Beauty

How could they call this art?
This piece of hell inside, tearing me apart.

Romance comes in love and beauty from the heart
Not blood and bruises until finish from start, we part

Do you know what it's like?

If you did, you wouldn't laugh and smile

And think that only for a while
Your life is a million miles
and you just can't take it.

If you did, you'd understand,
Why kissing the wrist of your hand
Is a blessing, not a reprimand,
which is wrong.

It's wrong to think
You can cry a song and sink
And be rewarded for bringing yourself to the brink.

It's sick.
It sick to believe that it's okay
For anyone to feel this way.
Just because someone will lie
And tell you, it's okay to want to die

Because it's not.

These feelings are not beautiful or pretty
Pretty is flowers or the night lights of the city

THIS.

This is mutiny
Nothing near beauty.

Romance comes from support, but not praise.
You think that you become beautiful with the graze of

a razor?

You think that cutting your wrists
will make you gorgeous or better?
You think that girl who you care about will just let it mist?
that it won't upset her?

You think pain makes you beautiful?
You think that pain is romance.
Yes, because a dance with the Devil tearing at your inner thoughts
Is a stance in which you WANT to be caught.

That sounds insane!
But you remain
Oblivious to the fact that PAIN

Is not beauty

Pain will give you nothing to gain.

Beauty comes in support
Not in the scars that will fill you with remorse.
Not in the tears that make your throat hoarse.

Beauty is the strength to overcome
And there are some people who still drown

Hiding behind whiskey and rum

Because THEY don't feel beautiful. They feel dumb.

Stupid for letting it in

All the regret and all of the sin
That they can't hide behind a thin lipped smile anymore
That door has opened and been closed before.

Beauty does not come from attacking yourself
Does not come from Hiding problems on a shelf of hatred.

It comes from reaching for help.

It comes from looking at those scars

And seeing the memories Char.
Realizing that you can stand out and be a star in your own world.

Because BEAUTY. Is more than praise.
Beauty is getting help to face more days.
