Most people wake up in the morning and think of a fresh start
I wake up in the morning, dreading to step out of my bed in case I do something I can be picked on for

Makeup, hair, eyes, glasses

It's like nothing I ever do will be good enough to please them

I look in the mirror
I hate myself but I can't change it without the constant fear of acknowledgment that comes with it

I will never be good enough

—Lila • May—
