Will you still love me
If my smile isn’t as bright
If my eyes do not shine
And my laughter isn’t as light

Will you still find me beautiful
If the tears stream down my face
If the only sounds that escape
Are of pain and of disgrace

Will you still want me
If you hear all my stories
If you can feel the darkest parts
And see me without the glory

~

It is so easy to love
Someone happy and secure
But to love me for me
For that I am unsure

Skeletons smile from my closet
As they hang by their necks
Mistakes are made one after another
Oh so simple but complex

For I am a mix of colors
Though shades of grey do fit me best
But will you still love me
Once you see my soul undressed?
