Chill Smith - Pretty Everyday by Ali Longo Lyrics

So I thought of
A thousands ways to end this album
But
Ultimately
I decided
To end it
With a poem
By my friend
Ali Longo
Pretty today
Smells like putting on sunscreen
Even when it isn't that sunny
Smells like notes of wine hitting my nose
And nobody else around to share the commentary
Looks like taking a walk because it's self-preservation
Looks like putting in contacts, just to see my eyes more clearly
Sounds like my genuine laughter
Even when I can think of pain a second later
Sounds like setting boundaries and not second-guessing
Pretty today in forced isolation is this
Pretty today will mean the same pretty tomorrow
The same pretty when I choose to be alone and stick to it
The same pretty I give to myself without your critique
Your gaze
Your views
Means pretty to me everyday
Will mean pretty for the rest of my joyful days
When I allow it
Thank you for listening
