"bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face/i started to skip lunch, stopped eating cake on birthdays/i bought a new prescription to try and stay calm/cause there's always something in the mirror that i think looks wrong ... you can win the battle, but you'll never win the war/you fix the things you hated, and you'd still feel so insecure/and i try to ignore it, but it's everything i see/it's on the poster on the wall, it's in the shitty magazines/it's in my phone, it's in my head, it's in the boys i bring to bed/it's all around, it's all the time, i don't know why i even try/when pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?/and everybody's keepin' it up, so you think it's you/i could change up my body and change up my face/i could try every lipstick in every shade/but i'd always feel the same/cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyways/and i bought all the clothes that they told me to buy/i chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life/and none of it matters, and none of it ends/you just feel like shit over and over again."
↳ how dare i enjoy being the woman i was born as
