Charlotte Eriksson
“I’ve been trying to stay real
and true and proud of who I am,
all those ideals of how to look
I’ve been trying not to care.

But I’m still holding my breath,
I ‘m still watching every step.
I’m still tip-toeing away,
when I’m getting to ashamed of myself.

I don’t want to be your letdown,
I’m scared like hell I’m not enough.
I don’t wanna be
your failure anymore.
â€� The Glass Child, Letdown”
Charlotte Eriksson

Because…â€� I struggle to find the right words. “Because you deserve it, and you need it.â€� “No, I don’t.”
