I'm a brown-eyed girl 

loves adventures 

yet afraid of the unknown

I'm a romantic who hates real life

I'm a brown-eyed girl

who wishes more love songs

said brown-eyed instead of blue

i don't always like being a girl 

it's hard 

always making sure my hair is in place 

i can't dress so all my curves can be seen

but i can't wear xxL

i don't want to be wrong

you're so pretty

and i pray every night

that you won't cry again

about those pounds gained

or those pimples

in the feather-soft skin of your cheeks

it hurts me 

how you forget

i'm getting good

at smiling like it's no big deal

i can laugh and joke

i'm getting good

at masking my pain 

pretending everything's alright

makes it easier 

to get through today. 

My computer is dead again, 

It's another excuse not to write. 

My hand is cramping from playing, 

But all the songs don't sound right. 

They don't quite understand it, 

Your laughter reminds me of the shoreline  

as the tide goes in and out,  

as fireworks pulse overhead,   

your favorite beach towel with the toadstools
