The Girl I Choose To Be

Location

I try to believe them when they say, 

"Every girl is beautiful."

When I look at any TV screen

all I see is girls who look nothing like me.

Girls with makeup caked faces 

and hair done to perfection. 

Making fun of the celebrity

who dared to step outside comfortably.

And I can't help but wonder,

if society laughs at me

for being the girl I choose to be.

The last three lines captured me. I loved it.
