Faking Perfection

Location

Hiding.

Who she is, and what she likes.

Pretending.

So she won't get judged or even laughed at. 

Molded.

So she can "fit in" with the "cool kids"

And Unhappy,

With what she has now become.

 

But yet she is Strong

Intelligent

Beautiful

Humble

Honest

Kindhearted

Yet she still likes to fake it. 

 

Why is she so scared of being herself?

 

She is too fat. 

She is too ugly.

Her hair is too messy.

 

This is what people think of her. 

 

But What does she think of herself?

 

Me..I think I am beautiful.
