I sit down every day
With a pen
And try my hardest to be honest
And I have found
That it is much easier
To find the cracks in everyone else
And fill them with my words
Than it is to look in a mirror
And see the gaping holes in myself.
I can tell you easily
And without a shake in my hands
Or a quiver in my voice
That the girl with long legs and pretty curls
Has lips made of flowers
And galaxies behind her eyes
I can tell you
That the girl with hair like
Wind and a shaky heart
Glows only because
She has paper thin skin
That's been chafed against too many times
And the liquor cabinet is
The only thing she loves that hasn't
Broken her yet
