Don’t stop

It’s a waist of time

Don’t pause

You’re probably fine

No reason to ask

No reason at all

And in the dark

Do you see visions

Of pain and hurt

Of crash collisions

Or just the darkness

All around

Filling in the blanks

That’ll never be found

They say you’re a mistake.

So keep running

And maybe you’ll win

Life is a race

So just give it a spin

Don’t question the rules

Or you’re out

No time to laugh

No time to pout

You hide the truth

Behind silk and scarves

Stifling your beauty

Hoping it starves

For that’s something to blame

The cause of the hurt

The cause of the shame

But trust me when I say

It’s beauty

Though no one else can see it

It’s beauty.

They say you’re a mistake

So run with it.
