Beautiful

[Aikko]

You stand with the gun in your hand
Staring at the wall with a look so sad
Thinking about who really cares
And will they even notice if I just disappeared
In one bang, blood rushed to the head
She'd rather fly through the sky than walk with the dead
She stays high while the world goes by
Just another day here waiting to die

But life is beautiful
Share a little love with the whole wide world
Every boy and girl sing along
When we sing why-o

Why-o

She cries but her man denies
It's funny how love comes with so many lies
He said he'd never do it again
So she puts on a smile and starts to pretend
And she hides all the pain inside
While filling up her arms with pretty little lines
She cuts with no intent to kill

This time she didn't do it
But someday she will

But life is beautiful
So share a little love with the whole wide world
Every boy and girl sing this song
When we sing why-o
Why-o
And hey, you're beautiful
And there's enough love for the whole wide world
Every boy and girl sing along
When we sing why-o
Why-o
And hey
I know that you can find a way
You're beautiful to me

No matter what the people say
It's all gonna be okay
You're beautiful to me

Too weak, too weary to try
Too angry inside, well so am I
I'm all alone with nobody else
I'm so in need of help, I keep reminding myself

That life is beautiful
So share a little love with the whole wide world
Every boy and girl sing along
When they sing why-o
Why-o
And hey, you're beautiful
And there's enough love for the whole wide world
Every boy and girl sing the song
When they sing why-o
Why-o
And hey
I know that you can find a way
You're beautiful to me
No matter what the people say
It's all gonna be okay
You're beautiful to me
It's all gonna end someday
It's all gonna fade away
You're beautiful to me
You're beautiful to me
You're beautiful to me
You're beautiful to me
You're beautiful to me

I’m sitting here today with a swollen eye/cheek and blurred vision, so the lines:

“Beauty deeper than the eye can find,

Maybe we have made her blind”

hit home. I’ve spent my life feeling ugly - a word I don’t use about anyone else, unless I mean their character. Recently, my face feels like it has been assailed by one thing or another. And getting older hasn’t helped. I know that I would be quite different if I looked more “acceptable”, but it’s no good even being a natural smiler when people look you up and down first to decide whether you are worthy of one of their smiles in return, and decide you aren’t. I have cried in the street before because of a look from someone, but I moved past that stage and now just feel dismay, and a degree of frustrated boredom. That look has become so predictable - and I’m afraid I can’t unsee the unattractive hue it adds to the faces of those who wear it. It feels so unfair, because I don’t begrudge anyone their beauty, and I don’t tell myself that beautiful people have really nasty personalities anyway, because I know that there are many physically beautiful people out there who are also very kind and loving. Anyway, gotta go into work tomorrow and face down the unsuccessfully concealed little smirks from some who know they’re the bee’s knees! I think they also know, deep down, where they’ve buried it for their own sanity, that they couldn’t survive as an unattractive person, as some of us have to.

You know, whenever I’m feeling this at the time it’s happening, it feels like I’m totally in my little self, vulnerable and rejected; but, as I write about it now, in adult mode, I can just see my little self screwing up her face, sticking her tongue out at them and making a very naughty hand gesture towards them, before taking My hand and telling me they’re totally not worth it, and that she and Percy (her cuddly rabbit) love me and think I’m beautiful! So there!😊

Sounds like little you and Percy have it figured out, listen to them.
