Fitting In

April 21, 2016

Force a smile

Pop a pill,

Pull down Sleeves,

Thoughts that kill.
 

Never wear a bikini, or anything that exposes my skin,

Constant battles that I never win.
 

Never eating,

always "cold",

Trying to conform

to society's mold.

No one understands how much teens think they have to do everything they can to fit in. They don't understand that it's okay to be different. I was one of those teens. I am still a teen, and I still struggle with this problem, but it needs to be said.
