Perspective

I close my eyes and see my life through someone else’s eyes

It looks so perfect and it feels so right but those scenes are lies

To you I might look so good but what about all the things I do?

Make up and cover up and standing only in certain angels what does it mean to you?

I sit along a sidewalk and watch along the road for something to come

Eyes so bright they light the sky a smile so wide I could die hotter than the sun

That button up shirt, that puffed up chest, who would of guessed

All those broken hearts and all those lies… is this another test

I used to love with all my heart but now I keep myself far

The lonely life I hate but it I prefer over a scar

I’m not a toy for you to play with then tear

I’ve been through the worst it’s been a curse but I’m not scared

Since I was a kid all my dreams stayed behind shut doors

Trying to get them to budge makes me sore

Stories that were told expectations created for me

Love is nothing but a British cup of tea

Doesn’t taste good but is a habit to keep

It tires you out and forever you stay in blind sleep
