Hasn’t Happened Yet
I think there’s so much about me that’s ugly
and people can tell me otherwise
people can give me compliments
and the compliments are never enough
it’s never what i want to hear
it would be nice if the right someone
came along and told me everything
I needed to hear
but that hasn’t happened yet
people keep trying to make me feel better
they talk about the sunrises and the
stars in the sky and the babbling brook
that is a couple of blocks from my house
but I don’t see those things
I never do
when I look right over my shoulder
to see the beauty in things
well, I never get to the beauty part
I never get there
so no, I don’t know what the answers are
and I don’t know how to make things better for me
things haven’t gotten better yet
and I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do
I guess my only choice is to keep trying
