No matter how much makeup I put on

It will never hide the sadness in my eyes.

No matter how many clothes I put on

It will never hide the scars.

No matter how big I smile

It will never be true happiness.

I was made to crave love,

But I was born with a curse

To never accept it

No matter how many chances I get.

I was made to care about others

But never learned how to care for myself.

I'm just like everyone else in my life.

Always leaving, never staying.

But I'm not selfish enough to say

That it isn't my fault.

I know I cause everyone to leave

I know I'm the problem.

But I don't know how to

Be the solution.

It's too loud in my head for me to hear

how to accept the love I crave.

Maybe one day I will be able to accept

The fact that I am only human.
