Pretty Enough

I've been slacking off too much and drinking. You've been making sure that I promise to eat, to forget that would not be unlike me. It's been raining for days, and days, and days. And the pit in my stomach grows every time I think too much about how I don't feel pretty enough. "I'll always love you" on a purple post-it note I once held close. I noticed today the ink start to fade, fade away. One day that handwriting will change, I hope it stays the same. Though I am hard sometimes, I'm just happy you're alive, and I'm glad that you survived the trap you found inside my eyes. Because I'm not safe for me or you, or anyone I'm close to. I'll acknowledge my faults to a fault, wish I could've improved. I noticed today, the ink start to fade.

You can find me underneath my sheets, hiding from everyone so you wouldn’t see me. There’s infections in my blood, don’t take my medicine enough, instead I keep trying to pray away an illness that plagued me today. You can find me by the exit quickly, I’m trying more and more each day this week to hide my body. I’m not the best that I have been, now doubt is setting in. I wish I felt as cool as Deaglan, wish I pulled off denim jackets like he can. So I’ll polish my nails well tonight, my lack of confidence keeps me inside. So I’ll polish my nails well tonight, I’ll just learn how to love this frame of mine. You can find me with any reason to leave, I’m just counting down the minutes to see you and Benji. Well, I’m scared of everyone; I compare myself too much, so I just keep trying to pray away the thoughts that ruin me today. So I’ll polish my nails well tonight, my lack of confidence keeps me inside. So I’ll polish my nails well tonight, I’ll just learn how to love this frame of mine.

I thought about calling you a lot that week, to see if you were alright and catch up on everything. But instead, I laid in bed, thinking you would be here when my weekend ends. But it’s just like me, to be just like you; apparently a parent leaves a piece of themselves in you. So I hate your blood running through my veins, but I will love and miss you more each day. I’m sorry that I never wrote, I’m sorry that I never called, I’m sorry that I never made a goddamn attempt at all. And I will always hate your blood in my veins, but I will love and miss you more each day. He said “remember me for good things that I did. They may be outweighed by the bad, but just forgive me. I was born with disorders, I’m the reason for yours”. But if you can hear me from the grave, Dad please haunt me every day.

Though life can be hard sometimes, I’m just happy to be alive. I’ve been pretty mean to you, yeah I’m sorry, I’ve been pretty mean to me, too. And I will complain all night and day about myself, how I will never change. Hey, at least I can say that I woke up. Though life can be hard sometimes, I’m just happy to be alive. Though life can be hard sometimes, I’m just happy to be alive, sometimes.

Hello again, I’ll say to old friends as they walk right by with their better lives. They make me question my whole existence, they laugh at where I’ve been and where five years will bring me. Oh, oh, whoa-oh, do they smile while they’re all alone? Oh, oh, whoa-oh, no matter how bad it gets, you are my happy home. Thank you again for this spot in your bed, it’s where I lay my head so my bad days end. I still question all my decisions, where I have been, and if I’ll be dead. Oh, oh, whoa-oh, do they smile while they’re all alone? Oh, oh, whoa-oh, no matter how bad it gets, you are my happy home. No matter how bad it gets, you are my happy home.

Had my hands around my pen all day, and I’ve been thinking in the worst ways. I’d love to say you’re signing my songs from your room, but all I hear is him calling (and you answer). Had my hands around your hands all day, cause I’m obsessive in the worst way. To see me acting like a downer probably seems strange, but everybody has their off days (and mine’s today). And I don’t mind when you’re unkind. I just wanted you to stay and change my life. But things are always in your way, so I will go underground and I will stay there because sometimes life just ain’t fair. I’ve been second guessing every move that I make, every chord I write or every song that I sing. It felt nice to have some concrete under my feet, now you’re gonna pull it all away (well not today). I cannot keep complaining, everyone will go away if I’m the one who’s pushing them, if I’m the one that’s refusing to change. I don’t even mind when you’re unkind. I just wanted you to stay and change my life. But things are always in your way, so I will go underground and I will stay there. And I don’t mind when you’re unkind, I just wanted you to stay and change my life but things are always in your way. So I will go and I will stay there. Sometimes life just ain’t fair.
