I am your treasure,
I am your gold
For ever and ever
Yours to hold.

Why don’t you save me,
Lock me away
Away from people to see
Save me for a rainy day.

You are proud of who I am
You parade me around
Maybe I don’t think I’m so glam
Hide me, safe and sound.

You think I’m a star,
You treat me like a celebrity
From those I am far
I’m not even pretty.

You think I am grand,
You think I am amazing
I think I am damned
Forever to be life wasting.

I don’t want to be here
I don’t want them looking at me
I don’t want to feel the leer
I don’t want people to see.

You think I am great
I disgress,
You think it’s you I hate
But I am the mess.

I am not ashamed
To be with you,
Of me you should be shamed
Come on, admit you know it’s true.

Anxiety and self worth issues,
Everyday is a fight
I spend so much on tissues
All because I don’t look right.

You calm me and coax,
But I could never believe you
It’s all just a hoax
Oh the things media can do.

I’ll never be good enough
I’ll never be right
Around the edges always be rough
I’ll never lose my bite.

So tuck me away
Keep me safe
In secret we’ll play
Please don’t be chafe.

Let them know I exist
Tell them I’m here
Let me hide in the mist,
Of them I fear.

What judging remarks
What horrible lies
On my soul leave their marks
Much to my demise.

I don’t want to know
It’s best if I’m not there
To your functions I don’t go
Because they’ll comment on my hair.

They’ll comment on everything
These comments I don’t want to know
It’s not me you want to bring,
Don’t take me to show.

I love you too,
And you love me,
We know we do,
So let’s just let this be.
