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!
