Im Not Beautiful

She’s beautiful, she’s beautiful, she’s beautiful too
But no one my love, is more beautiful than you
These words I hear, all the time
But when I compare my face to theirs
It feels like a lie

Their faces carved by angles, and then just mine
More difference than similarities
We look nothing alike

Difference is good, but not always
Compared to them
I feel like a disgrace

I try to look like them
He tells me no
Is he afraid to lose me if I reach my full potential?

Love And Rejection
Will I Ever Be An Exception?

That Prince Chraming is just what he is
He's nothing but a fictional character
Who only appears in dreams

He will never be a reality
He will never sweep you off your feet
You will meet many people who you believe are him
But somewhere you will see,
