ORDINARY

You look at me

And see nothing special

An ordinary girl

In your eyes



Finding pride

In your self-imposed

Label of perfection

Your soul dilapidated

Given up

Whilst

Fighting

So hard

Just to fit in


 

Your glare

Pierces

Through me

As you find reasons

to hate

You struggle

To understand

What it is

About me

Why I seem so happy

With just

Being

Myself



Looking

Into the mirror

You beg

Plead

Fight

Seeking

That overwhelming beauty

Yet

It eludes you



For the ordinary girl
