Dear Society, Accept Me!
April 7, 2014
Why wont you accept me?
Is it because I’m not skinny?
Okay then.
I starve
I Vomit
Now?
Maybe it’s because I’m not pretty…?
I abuse my face with makeup
I rip out my hair in attempts to make it pretty
How ‘bout now?
Is it ‘cause I dress funny?
I steal clothes.
I can’t afford to buy them.
I sport painful shoes that give me blisters.
Still nothin’ huh?
Maybe it’s ‘cause I’m not happy enough…?
I fake a smile
I only cry when I’m by myself
Noooow?
No?
Maybe it’s ‘cause I’m alive…
Okay… Goodbye then.
