Don't Twist My Thoughts

I miss the days when she didn't wear so much makeup.
I miss the way her face was without drugs, alcohol, and so many boys chasing her.
And all I can see now is an old soul, who would rather not deal with me.

I remember when you would cry.
You didn't believe me.
I always told you that you were beautiful.
Did it take the world's approval for you to finally understand?

A shiver goes down my back; like a sinner newly saved.

My world turns,
Blanketed in darkness.
I wonder what my life was like,
Before I saw the sun.

Here I kneel,
I'm tired and weak,
Though my heart may fail.
My prayers I lay,
Before the Son.

Small in stature,
Feel my might.
My eyes burn with questions,
As bright as the sun.

There's got to be a world;
A world better than this.
My life would be so much better if I had never gone on that date I was debating to miss.

I would like to believe that I am beautiful.
I would like to think that I am not fat,
Or that I am worth it to you to keep our friendship persisting.

I would like to think that I am still the same person even though all my thoughts are twisting.

I promised you.

I'd always be there.

But I think you've forgotten me.

So,

Is it OK if I slip away?

I am that girl.

Would you expect it from me?

I'm, "Nice."

I'm, Sweet."

If you had to pick whose would be empty the next day...

Would it be my seat?
