Being a teenager I am
Location
Being a teenager I am to get judged and put down
My self-esteem is expected to decrease to the lowest level
My head is not supposed to be held high
And my feet should be dragging heavily behind me
I have to wake up early in the morning to get prettied up just so I won’t get criticized
I have to watch what I eat so I can be “beautiful” like the rest
Pickles? Oh no, don’t eat those they will make you break out
I spend my time on YouTube so I can learn how to do my makeup like the models
I want to be beautiful
I spend so much time trying to be like the rest I forgot who I truly am
I am the girl who would rather read books than go out and party
I am the girl who watches ted talks because they inspire me
I am the girl who strives for the best
I am the girl who reaches for my goals even if they are too high
I love pickles, what was I thinking?
And because of that, because of the things I have forgotten
I am flawless
