Kick in the face

Would i appear prettier

If i were to keep all of this inside my head?  

I’m unappealing because i’m honest,

I’ve been apologising to myself and everybody else

for half my life.

Myself is fading as i’m aging,

Now i have no inspiration or hope,

I am looking.

Sometimes i wonder if this is true,

Have i been searching with my eyes closed?  





You never knew the full story,

And i never understood why you stayed by his side,

Yet cast me so quickly, so harshly aside.

I guess i was never anything that meant something to you,

So what was i, and what am i now?

Will this live with me forever?

It seems so pointless, so stupid, so trivial,

You must have meant something to me,

as my insides turn outside when i think of your hate,

Aimed at me, like a kick in the face.

Your unjust assumptions and your unfair dismissal,

Have left me ignored, ashamed and invisible.

You were always so complex, i am always so simple,

Just telling my truths, as its all i can do.

Maybe it was never really enough for the likes of you.





I’m now this girl that nobody knows completely,

Maybe i’m not worth it,

Perhaps i’m dying, or fading discreetly.

You won’t hear a peek, as i slip further away,

Why would anyone care, what would they all say?

I’m heading to oblivion, my eyes were closed,

My head was down,

Now i leave wearing this mask of confusion,

This overused frown.

Away from me, Away from you,

But i don’t know where i’m going to.
