My body's a battlefield
My head hating my heart
It knows we are too young,
You keep reminding us,
Yet my heart knows that's why I'm desirable.
It started with that first picture,
I wanted you to like me
Not for who I am
But what my underdeveloped shell could offer,
Let me wash up on your shore
Showing off all my pearls,
While you look at mine,
My, I was young, wasn't I?
Every single picture reminded me,
I branded myself with your name
I can't even blame you for it,
I chose to believe this was all I was worth,
Maybe I still believe that,
All the pictures
All the faces
The poses
More and more skin showing each time
I can't escape it
Delete it
They're gone
Delete it
I hope they are
The pictures
I'll run from them as long as I can
The voice mails
I wish
Stop begging them to stay
I wish I had never started this race
Delete it!
I'm tired.
