Pretty
Time is going by pretty fast
Lately I've been having flashbacks of the past
my body so sore
My heart and mind so numb
I guess I'm feeling pretty lonely
I've changed and I feel they don't see me
My soul and body feel no more as one
The monster that I am conceiving
It needs time to grow
So I'm still myself
Though almost somebody else
When I cry I'm holding it all in
I dry my face to hide the shame
I hide when I can't keep control
Times when I'm not so pretty myself
I guess I'm feeling pretty down
Emotion feels like such a heavy burden
I cannot feel, I cannot understand
People get so distracted
Or maybe I'm the distracted one
Guess I've kept myself kind of doped up
Blindness, occupied by my own thoughts
Selfish in a quiet sort of way
Yet I feel I'm just observing
I guess I'm feeling pretty lost
Today I gave myself this moment
I usually don't finish my own thoughts
Seems like people are schools of fish
I wonder if I'm the trap or the lure
Or maybe I'm the ocean, maybe nothing
Maybe something in between
Of course maybe I'm not so alone
I could even be some statistic
Life to me never was a game
Always an effort to be happy
I know I'm still pretty young
A lot to learn, a lot to get done
The days have been okay
Though sometimes I feel it needs to end
I know I can handle some shit
But inside I'm feel like I'm just caving in
Today I held my caramel woman
She was so warm in my arms
Then I realized this wasn't just my moment
I realized the moment was ours
I guess I'm just going with the flow
Today this is all I know
Someday I'll look back and I'll know the answer
Guess life has taught me to be pretty optimistic
Or curiousity is what drives me these days
Even when I'm afraid see what's next
I know things will change
There will be pretty okay days
(Never wrote a song before, so I apologize if it's confusing or something..)
