Unmask me, what is it you see?
A striking smile, but I see a weary girl, seeking her strength.
Green eyes hunting for her soul.
Unmask me, what is it you see?
Behind the eye shadow and lip gloss,
I'm alright, everything is fine
I just be myself, no need to whine
No need for other's opinions
Only need the people that matter to me
And most importantly... myself!
I wake up,
I look in the mirror
and I see this beautiful girl
staring back at me.
I look at my waist,
my belly,
my thighs,
twice the size of my friends
who brag about not eating at lunch
I used to wake up flawedand put my heart on a shelfthinking I had to make room"There's no room to love yourself."
