nice girl
Nice girl
sweet, so sweet
everyone says so sweet
so lovely, so kind
In self reflection
so fake
put the mask on
wear the smile
be invisible
forgettable
don't let anyone see inside
Vulnerability
weakness
fear of being known
fear of being unknown
No risk, no gain
no risk, no loss
Nice girl
sweet, so sweet
everyone says so sweet
like sugar and spice
and everything nice
(and nothing real)

I'm sure we could all tell stories....
One day I just walked away from myself.....which one, I don't really know. I like me better now, but I couldn't really tell you how I got here.

Sometimes the transition between states is slow, so slow we don't notice until we suddenly realise we're different or more or less who we want to be. I'm in that transition state now, from who I was to more of who I'm going to be.

Looks like she's woken up from an al fresco night on the proverbial town (reminds me of Shania Twain's song).
