Am I Pretty Now
July 14, 2016
Painting my soul with lies, no one shall see my true identity.
Running away from the pure me and being pulled in by the plastic made model.
Eating nothing but air, becoming as light as a feather.
Trying to become the world's definition of beauty,
Then being asked if I’m okay.
Yesterday I was healthy and natural, today I’m sickly and fake.

Society tells you that there's usually one standard of ultimate beauty but that standard is so unrealistic. It's not the average person with flaws, so you often feel insecure about your flaws and want to cover them.
