Hidden within
I can't, you know compete with them Everyone is so tall so beautiful so— Pink, and I'm just..
I was born like this, right? Leaves like mine don't grow nothing but vines and thorns I cover the fields yet I'm unseen Unloved
I can't compete. I won't.
I don't want to stick out like weed in a field of wildflowers A forgotten seed boasting with the little it has But it knows it came from shit The bull, the bird, whatever breed I couldn't satisfy then the ones that swallowed me whole— Looking for gratification But dropped me to my death when their stomach churned Into this field Where everything is so tall so beautiful— So pink
And I'm not as pink as you or as tall I walk halls with my head tilted down I soften my voice I'm often alone, like I have my own thing Cause I have nothing to offer
I sneak glances At you dancing with the blue hues So beautiful I know I cant compete
