Special Secret

by Lady Nik   Jul 10, 2009


I wake up in this skin of mine
and I'm deeply saddened.
I prayed I wouldn't be me
but God doesn't listen to mistakes.
I'm sick of split end hair
and boring brown eyes.
You sparkle like distant stars
I burn out like tired candles.

You're so very special...

I see you everyday
and I can barely stand it.
You're such a blessed soul
while mine is just empty.
You smile and people warm up
I walk in and whispers start
I'm ugly with simple thoughts
You're perfect...end of discussion.

I wish I was special...

I didn't mean to hurt you
I just needed to be you.
So I let envy paint me green
as red painted your body.
Now I'm stuck here
feeling your skin over mine.
I smile to myself knowing
no one will know this secret.

I just wanted to be special...

*For a club contest where I had to use the lyric " You're so very special, I wish I was special".*

    "I wake up in this skin of mine
    and I'm deeply saddened."

    I really like the opening line, I think many of us have felt this kind of sadness, unhappy with who we are and what we see.

    The ending stanza was my favorite part, it is so dark and eerie, it really made me cringe but stop and think as well.

    You have done a nice job here, it was an enjoyable read.
