I know it’s shallow and I know you won’t even see  
that no matter what I look like, you still won’t choose me
but still I stand in front of this cracked mirror
hoping the rosy cheeks and darkened eyes don’t betray my fear
I wanted to be around you without feeling less than
and I wonder again why I change so much of myself to please man
still the tears fall
and still you don’t call
there’s a voice in my head wondering if I’m the issue
doesn’t stop me from wanting to kiss you
