MESS from DEAR READER by PEGGY

I always smile but it doesn't reach my eyes
And I’m forgetful but I promise that I try
It’s a curse and a blessing
The way that I’m never resting

My minds always moving much faster than my mouth
I know what to say but it never comes out right
You know what I mean right

This party is too loud
The noise makes me stressed out
I know
Oh I know

I’m a mess
But it doesn't make me less than you
I’m naive
But still I wish the best for you
And I may make mistakes
That I shouldn’t at my age
I know I'm not incompetent
But damn you make me feel that way

Sometimes my own room is the safest that I feel
And nothing around me feels like its real
I sit alone in a panic
There’s always something I’m forgetting

I always remember the strangest things I’ve said
When I’m alone at night in my bed
And my head is a choir and my only desire
Is for silence

And my thoughts are racing
The fear I keep chasing
I know
Oh I know

I’m a mess
But it doesn't make me less than you
I’m naive
But still I wish the best for you
And I may make mistakes
That I shouldn’t at my age
I know I'm not incompetent
But damn you make me feel that way
