"inner corner lashes" by me
I flick the mascara onto my lashes
I look over at the boy across the room
Am I pretty enough for you, stranger?
The worst form of addiction is validation
The buzz lasts for one second longer
I pump my mascara, just the way they tell you not to
Am I pretty enough to be someone's muse?
Am I pretty enough to linger on someone's mind?
Will a boy find me so beautiful
Will he rip me apart from the inside out?
Will he keep my head in his closet?
Will he kiss my cracked, dry lips?
Would he hold my hand as I cry?
Would that scare him away?
The fulfillment of a man finding you so beautiful
Am I pretty enough to be harmed?
I would let him destroy and create me in his image
To be his perception of perfection
Just so he wouldn't glance another girls way
Am I pretty enough to be safe?
Someone steps from the crowd to save me?
Do I deserve a guardian angel?
Am I pretty enough to be missed?
My skin rots around my press on nails
That someone will look past it all
Will they drop to their knees?
Am I pretty enough to be happy?
Am I pretty enough to be terrible,
What makes all of this worth living,
Am I pretty enough to be unattainable?
