But writing is hard when you don't know what to say
Kinda like when your boyfriend of three years tells you he's gay
And someone once told me to stop and smell the roses
Well I did
And found out I'm allergic
I'm colorblind so the sky isn't blue
I guess you could say I have a black and white film point of view
And I'm so covered in pimples
I could be the before picture of an acne ad
My sister got the freckles from my mom
I got the bad skin from my dad
Now a days self hatred is trendy
Depression is cool
So I guess that means I'm the most popular kid
In the school
Shakespeare could write a poem
About my eyes
An ocean hidden behind a shit colored disguise
My whole family has eyes like the sea
Why mine resemble mud
Is a mystery to me
And I could be a comedian
Because I talk so funny
All jumbled like a jigsaw puzzle
And like a nose in the winter
My sentences are runny
My tongue trips over my words and ties itself up in a knot giving me the inability to express even the simplest thought
But I can write just fine
Sure
I'm alright
Although sometimes autocorrect
And I get into fights
My teacher once asked us to write about ourselves
What we like about us
I picked up the pencil and thought to myself
I'm okay at breathing
A little below subpar
We ran a half mile in gym
I didn't get too far
I think about how many bags of fries McDonald's could make
If an employee simply ran their fingers through my hair
People call my sister goldilocks
Boys holler outside our window
Rapunzel let down your hair
And my only gentleman caller in sixteen years turned out to be gay
Totally fair
The bell rings and I stick to the wall like a fly
Praying to god that nobody will see me and say hi
But that isn't likely considering
The only person I text is my mom and dad
Oh and my grandma
