Why?
Why,
Why am I not good enough?
I mean I work hard enough to prove I should gain this title.
I eat, sleep, and breathe perfection.
My mother always told me I was perfect just the way I was.
But I don’t want to be perfect in her image, I want to be perfect for everyone to see!
Why,
Why am I constantly abused and harassed by my peers?
Why am I told that because my body doesn’t look a certain way, created by the minds of feeble impressionable males, that I am not worthy of being humane.
I smell the scent of cherries, I see the sky so ever blue, I touch the clear water, I hear the birds chirping, I have everything everyone else has!
But it means nothing to them.
To them I am just an object, a laughingstock!
My only purpose is to make those with no purpose feel like they are worthy of something.
Why,
Why do I feel the need to always be perfect?
Why do I go through brutal wars and unjust arguments, just to be beaten and bruised in the end?
Do I get an award?
Do I feel better?
I don’t feel like it.
So why?
Why do I wake up so early to put a mask of makeup on my face?
Why do I stay up all night texting people I thought I knew, just for the chance of being noticed?
If I had the answers, I wouldn’t be asking this.
So why?
