I stare at myself in the mirror
Picking and degrading every single curve, bump, and blemish
Labeling myself as unworthy of human affection
Degrading what I physically cannot change
And hating what I can change but chose not to
I am quick to blame myself for the littlest of things
And say sorry more than I probably should
Even for the things I had no part in
I set these barriers almost impossible to penetrate
But I dwell on the smallest of things said about me
Letting them tear me down mentally until I give in and believe them
But in this world
In this society
In this generation
All we can do is try to build our walls higher and higher
Until we are finally tired of building
Attempt to stay true to yourself and keep building!
