I look in the mirror
Put on a lot of make-up
Untill I don't recognize myself anymore
Tell myself im not as pretty
as those other girls
Walk the halls with a fake smile on my face
Trying to make it through the day
I go into the bathroom look in the mirror
I can't even face the girl I see in the mirror
It's not me it's a mask to cover up reality
That I am not perfect
I went home
took a shower
As I watch my mask disappear
Revealing the true me
It's me in my own skin
It's me with the acne
It's me who is lying to me
Thinking that all my problems will be solved
If I was just pretty enough
If I was skinny enough
But at the end of the day it's me vs me
The girl in the mirror facing the girl looking in the mirror
And my naked skin
My acned up face
Me not pretending to be someone that I'm not
This is me
And I'm good enough being me.
Im starting a challenge to be true to who you are for a week wear your hair down. No makeup fancy dress. Get comfy in your own skin!
