Stand Still, Look Pretty.
Sometimes I want to paint my face
and pretend that I am someone else.
I just get so fed up that I no longer want to look at myself.
I know others have problems that are worse than mine.
And I don't want you to think that I'm complaining all the time.
But I hate the way you look at me I have to say.
I wish I could start all over again.
I am slowly starting to fall apart.
I wish you could take a walk in my shoes for a start.
Cause you think it’s so easy being me.
You just stand still, and look pretty.
Sometimes I find myself shaking in the middle of the night.
And then it hits me, and I can't even believe this is my life.
The terrors never seem to give me peace.
And all I want is an easy release.
So tired of being brave, I want to run and disappear until the world is safe.
Wish I could run to you to escape.
But people have problems that are worse than mine.
Please don't assume I'm complaining all the time.
I just wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths!
Cause I'm really not strong enough to deal with this.
I am slowly starting to fall apart.
I wish you could take a walk in my shoes for a start.
Cause you think it’s so easy being me.
You just stand still, and look pretty.
When will you realize there is so much more to me?
Not just a pretty face for all to see.
Don't waste more time believing you have me perfect in your case.
Cause I will break the glass of this picture frame and forget this place.
People do have problems worse then mine.
And I'm startin to feel like I complain all the time.
Seeing myself through your glass is killing me.
So I'll take my heart and be free.
I am slowly starting to fall apart.
I wish you would take a walk in my shoes for a start.
Cause you think it’s so easy being me.
You just stand still, and look pretty.

Yeah, wow. you really have a gift for releasing that raw emotion into verbal colors of a pallet. Not sure what I just said, but I was trying to say, "DAMN you're good!"
Aww, it's so sad. I like it, but I'm sorry for any emotions that inspired you.
