Not just a pretty face


Wrap yourself with ribbons And grace Only you know the trauma By name Stop holding back tears Others made You're more than just a Pretty face Illusions of what love was They gave You deserve more than what Was fake Open yourself to new beginnings Tempt fate What you deserve is real and pure Keep faith One day you'll meet the one Your soulmate Without a doubt you'll know They say They'll be disguised as presents In a way That only you will know the cards Being played Strategic forces working telling you It's okay The devotion you find in them Never strays It's meant to open your eyes Better days For its written in the stars A pre-game Let flow what comes from this Beautiful gift It's unlike anything you've had before An awakening Knocking on your hearts door Unlock it And see the answers you've been Searching for You've put yourself out in the cold No more It's time for you to feel everything Once again It'll almost feel like being a kid Nostalgic Pack your fears and insecurities Hidden within Down this road you won't need any Of them What you've been manifesting is Coming in You deserve the happiness that Was taken The love you've poured into others Now yours Don't be afraid to unlock the doors To this The world in your hands deserves True bliss It's up to you to recognize the signs All around The universe always has a plan Take note It was pre-written a long time ago You know Trust the process and forget the world It's here Beautifully wrapped as fragile and to handle With care No glitter or gold It's not For show But for you to open with your Minds eye Stop running and searching for clues That remain Remember you're everything To me You're more than just a Pretty face...
