they say that i am pretty

but do they really know

just to hear those words again

oh how far i’ll go

“your eyes are so unique”

“oh such a perfect nose you have”

no no no just stop right there

they only say it for a dare

look at me, straight at my face

now go ahead and say it

“look at you compared to her”

why do they even care

of course i know it’s true

because it’s never me, not once

it’s truly always you

i know that i am just a three

while you stand at a ten 

the ten that i just want to be

oh it makes me mad

maybe someday will be different

in a world where all is new

the perfect, pretty nose i have

and those gorgeous brown eyes too

of course it’s always for a dare

because no one ever truly cares

i’m not ok, i’m not alright

my body is disgusting 

i hate myself, i’m not unique

they look at me like i’m some freak

they say that i have perfect teeth

my smile is so beautiful

i hope that they feel sorry

oh maybe soon they’ll understand

if only they just knew one thing

oh how far i’ll go
