Am I Beautiful Yet

Beauty

Is an expectation in our society today

Makeup

Makes us up

Clothes

Become who we are

Beauty

Was invented to hide one's scars

Makeup

Gives us a mask

Clothes

Let us redesign who we are

Beauty

Is what drives us crazy

Girls

Are killing themselves,

to find someone who'd **** for them

Beauty

Boys face it too

Pressure

To look impressive

Desire

To be desirable

Beauty

The measurement of it

Is what should be blamed,

for our troubles

Not

Beauty itself.
