Everyday its the same thing...

I wake up and take a shower.

I look in the mirror as I do my hair.

I look in the mirror as I put on my makeup.

I look in the mirror...

Why should I bother??

I never feel like Im good enough.

Im not tall enough or skinny enough or pretty enough.

My hair isnt shiny, my face isnt clear, and my teeth arent white.

Why do I even feel like I have to be good enough?

Whose expectations am I trying to meet?

Societys? Thats never gonna happen.

My own? I dont even know what they are.

There are so many people worse off than me

And they could care less about what they look like.

Why cant I be like them?

Why cant I compare myseld to them instead of cheerleaders?

I HATE THIS!

Everydays its the same thing...

I put on cover up and eyeliner and lipstick...

But in the end it only makes me feel worse.

Worried that its all gonna get ruined

And Im gonna be exposed for what I really look like..

Worried that people will see who I really am.
