Silly girl, you complain
about life as if you've gotten
it worse than others

You don't know just how
great your life is

You have people who are
deathly afraid of loosing
you

You have men who are
dying to have just a single
chance with you

You have a mother and father
who are willing to change for
you to be happy

But me?

I haven't got a single soul
worrying for me

No one lies awake at night,
bags under their eyes the
next day because the reason
they were staying up at night

Is because loosing you was
absolutely terrifying

No one cries when they loose me

No one is even scared to loose me,
because I have no one to loose
anymore

No one feels the need to remind
me that I'm beautiful

I can't even remember the last
time someone told me I was
beautiful

And when everything hurts and
I feel like just falling apart and
quitting, no one tells me to stay

I've been told by my own
mother that she doesn't care

I do the caring

I do the crying

I do the reminding

I have the bags under my eyes

And yet you walk around with
a broken heart because you just
can't open your eyes and see just
how fucking great you have it

Me?

I have myself and no eyes to
open, they're already open and I
see everything

I walk around with a broken
heart, not because I choose to,
but because no one cares

Silly girl, you have it great

I'm the one who has nothing
to loose and no reason to be
here anymore

-e.l.
