I just wanted
You to be
Proud of me
..even if no one is there to see.

You hug me
And tell me to stand
opposite of your good side.

Make sure my hair is brushed
And I’m not too wide
If the camera gets the bad side
There’s an app for that
Now everybody smile

I don’t know your address
I guess it doesn’t matter
You had an acquaintance over
So I can’t come over

I’m in the middle
Of a personal struggle
You said “call me when it’s over”

You say that It’s all love
proud of yourself because you give none

You call yourself the toughest.
But if you were people like me
would you still shun us?
