YOU SIT THERE .. WITH YOUR LEGS CROSSED TIGHT LIKE A PAINTED HINGE,
A SMIRK WRITTEN ACROSS YOUR FACE IN THE ACTUAL LETTERS "J-E-R-K."
YOUR BODY LANGUAGE STIFF AND YOU SALUTE TO A BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO OF YOURSELF.
I USED TO LOVE YOU AND YOUR SILENT ARMY OF PERSONALITIES.
I THOUGHT YOUR CONFIDENCE WAS A SOLID PART OF WHO YOU ARE.
YOU FIND YOUR CONFIDENCE ON A PRICE TAG, AND WHEN YOUR CLOTHES COME OFF YOU'RE AND INFANT.
OH HOW TIME REVEALS OUR CREATURE. DIET, MASCARA, WHITESTRIPS DO NOTHING FOR WHO YOU REALLY SCARE OFF.
WE LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE SMALL LITTLE PICTURES AND NEVER THE FULL CAPACITY. PIECE IT TOGETHER WITH YOUR MIND. CONVINCE YOURSELF.
I SAW YOU NAKED, I SAW YOU SLEEPING, I SAW GOD ATTEMPT TO WASH YOUR MAKE UP AWAY WITH TEARS.
NOW YOU HAVE FOUND A NEW FRIEND THAT HAS CONVINCED YOU THAT YOU LOOK BETTER THRU HIS EYES THAN MINE.
YOU CONTROL HIM, YOU SOOTHE HIM WITH YOUR FORTUNE COOKIE ADVICE.
KEEP A MIRROR HANDY, YOU MAY NEED TO CONVINCE YOURSELF OF WHO YOU ARE TODAY.
I LOVED YOU WHEN YOU WEREN'T LOOKING.
