She isn’t perfect She thinks she’s not good enough She thinks she’s not pretty enough She thinks she’ll never achieve her dreams She thinks she’s hated She needs to feel accepted She’s a child She feels she’s growing up too fast She feels she’s not growing up fast enough She feels too small to help She feels too old to play. She wonders if adulthood will change anything She is a daughter She knows she can’t live up to their expectations She knows she’ll be relieved when they’re gone She knows there will be no one to disappoint She knows she shall regret her words She doubts that she’s good enough. She is a friend She wants to live for them She wants to watch them be happy because she’s not She wants to be valued by them She wants to love them more than herself She knows they care too She is a girl She worries about going out alone She worries she doesn’t do makeup right She worries that she doesn’t dress well enough She worries men watch her but also when they don’t She wants to feel perfect She is a student She can’t get all the answers correct She can’t survive without a good grade She can’t believe in failure She can’t cope with pressure She prays to be smart enough. She’s a 13 year old girl She wonders when she will be okay She wonders if she overreacts She wonders can she be good enough She wonders what will happen if she stops for a second She has to make it past 14
