Work Text:

I wish i was as beautiful as the stars

 

They shine so bright and every one loves them

 

But i am made of skin and bone

 

The skin around my nails and lips and face

 

Is scared and cut from my anxious picking

 

My nose is just a little to big and my legs just a bit to long

 

My hair doesnt have much volume and i have a lot of dead ends

 

Im to thin for people but i look in the mirror and i still think i could be thinner

 

Why is it that being made of skin and bone is not pretty on me but so perfect on others

 

I wish i were the stars

 

They don't have to do much to be loved

 

Those made of skin and bones must put forth the effort and work

 

To get something out you must put something in.

 

Stars are angry balls of fire

 

Anger doesn't look pretty on your skin and bones

 

So keep it locked up and don't tell a soul

 

Save your tears for your pillow and your anger for art

 

But don't let you art become to personal, because what if they no longer relate

 

What if your self destruction no longer looks pretty but it looks real

 

People like it more when you wrap your emotions up

 

In an easy to digest way

 

No. save anger for the stars.

 

It looks better on them anyway

Notes:

i love you
