All of my life
I’ve never tried to live
up to anyone else’s expectations
only my own
which has been worse than the lords
perfection has always been my goal
and frustration has always been rewarded
its ironic isn’t it
that one of those goals
was to be happy with myself
well I am
just ask me
I’ll tell you
because its what everyone wants
so that’s what I am
all my insecurities
are hidden behind my makeup free face
since makeup shows insecurities
isn’t that strange as well
I’m happy with what I’ve become
in most senses
but there are changes I need
but until then
I’ll just cover up
without makeup
and tell myself
I can do better
because thats what I expect of myself
so thats what I am
so I’ll smile now
