Dear society,

why is it that you only see my skin?

and not my beautiful soul within.

why my clothes must be on trend

for me to have "cool" friends?

why do you shame me for not wearing makeup?

it makes me want to throw up.

Yet you shame me when I do wear makeup,

and then tell me that I'm trying too hard.

I'm am not your broken slave,

I am a living being, both beautiful and brave.

If only you could see what lies within.

I am more than my god-damned skin.
