she tries too hard to seem like she doesn't
she regrets she wished she changed but couldn't
she fails to see the beauty and says she shouldn't
she sees herself in the mirror
and what you see as lovely
she sees as ugly
if only she saw it clearer
her jealousy tears her apart
and she hides her broken heart
she always falls for those eyes
and sugar coated lies
she's got bad habits
and hidden struggles
she wishes she had long beautiful hair
and eyes that got everyone's attention
she lost her innocence long ago
she just wants someone to care
someone to give her mention
but loving yourself is something you do
with clear intention
on your own
