Someone

In My Place

From not needing to worry

To being scared

From days of laying out

To the days of the tanning bed

Fast forward to plain white

When I wanted to look healthy

Instead

Wearing full clothes

Attempting make-up

Like when I used to be a pro

But I have lost my touch

But you obviously don’t love me

That much

If you don’t like the real me

Sure I miss having a man

I could plaster my face

But at night in bed

He’d see my real face

What would you do

Just be yourself

Or just say

Take someone in my place
