Constantly attempting to express
To you, I keep tryin to explain
Persistently, yet vainly tryna run away
Tryin to escape the pain
Who ever said it wasn't lying:
It pours when it rains :crying:
My last resort is to release myself verbally
But how can I let go of my inhibitions
My family instilled in me that I was unattractive
Man, this is NOT just superstition
And I know that you dont beleive me
When I say Im not pretty in my eyes
I have to believe in my heart first
And to be honest I can only try
Your love lifts me to the highest of hights
And takes me to the farrest of lands
But this is something you haven't experienced
So I can't make you understand
This isn't just low self-esteem
I've been brutally blessed with self hate
It seems Im doomed to misperception
This feeling I cant even articulate
Misperception of myself :uhoh:
and of many of those that are surrounding me
Im grateful that you love me
yet in awe of the beauty you found in me
But this feeling I have of myself
Can only be dipspersed in one way
It comes from within and with time
And I dont know if today is the day
I hope that u can find it in you
to wait while I continue my search for self
And in time I will find your words to be true
That in beauty I carry wealth.
