Treasure

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. xoxo Kyelle
