Favorite Quote:
"Be you, because everyone else is already taken." This quote makes me realize that I'm good enough for anything or anyone. A lot of people talk about how we need to learn how to be ourselves, but this quote has a deeper meaning. At least to me, it means more than being comfortable with who you are.


fake smiles and pretty faces

i tried so hard to see 

my beauty underneath 

can’t look in the mirror

without having a breakdown


cuz pretty is overrated

putting on different faces

just to hide all my bruises

memories of that girl

i tried so hard to be

why am i insecure

when pretty is overrated


i tried so hard to eat

but my self image

is just too hard to complete

baggy clothes tired faces

all the little things

i just can’t love about myself


memories of those days

when i was myself


cuz pretty is overrated

putting on different faces

just to hide all my bruises

memories of that girl

i tried so hard to be

why am i insecure

when pretty is so overrated
