beautiful from 🙃 by Wren Dove Lark

Ghosts of people I barely knew
Haunt every synapse of my rapid fire brain
I try to sleep, they make bizarre shapes in my dreams
They freak me out, I hug my dog so tight she screams
& There I am, I’m wide awake
With no desire to face the day

But I see the sun
And I tell myself that

It’s too beautiful a day to die
And I can’t promise you’ll make it
But it’s a beautiful day to try
So let’s see how far that takes you

You’ve got too beautiful a face to hide
And I hate how the world tries to break you
But please don’t let it win

Men I’ve accepted I can’t change
I put them in their paper boats and push them all downstream
I can’t describe what that means
But it hurts so much

But I still stare at the sun
And tell myself that

It’s too beautiful a day to die
And I can’t promise you’ll make it
But it’s a beautiful day to try
So let’s see how far that takes you

You’ve got too beautiful a face to hide
And I hate how the world tries to break you
But please don’t let it win

This world has taken so damn much from you
Please don’t give in

And every part of you that they degrade
And everything of yours you love they try to take away
And every hope of yours you have for better days
Just hold them in
Please don’t give in
Just hold them in
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
