Real

Don't you think you've had enough
Of fake, and fragile kinds of love?
The kind that burn themselves out

Like we all know that they will?
Aren't you tired of the people
Who mistreat you and mislead you,

Who empty you and empty you

And never get their fill?

Don't you want something real?

That makes you grow, and not just feel?

Something that's worth fighting for

When feelings aren't enough.

When the sky falls down around you

Bricks and broken glass surround you,

Don't you want someone beside you

When the road gets rough?

Don't you think that it's worth waiting,

Contemplating, hesitating,

Darling, know your heart's worth saving

For a strong and real love.








Pinterest Perfect

Forget about Pinterest Perfect, I'm

Just trying not to be worthless; I'm

Not saying it's not worth it, I'm

Just saying I need a break.

I'm not one of those TikTok moms, I'm

Not the most crunchy mom; do we

Have to judge everyone? We've

All got a lot on our plates.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Aren't we allowed to just be tired? Why

Are we constantly comparing life

To life to life to life;

It's not always what it seems.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Maybe we're all just scraping by.

If you're not as good as you'd like,

Why do you think she has to be?

It's not always what it seems.


Forget about Picture Perfect, Why

Is everything covered in dirt? I

Didn't even go outside, I

Just wanna take a break.

I'm not an Instagram mom, I'm

Not really a playgroup mom; do we

Have to label everyone? We've

All got a lot on our plates.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Aren't we allowed to just be tired? Why

Are we constantly comparing life

To life to life to life;

It's not always what it seems.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Maybe we're all just scraping by.

If you're not as good as you'd like,

Why do you think she has to be?

It's not always what it seems.
