Pressure
There's pressure everywhere.
In magazines
On Television
From my peers
Videos
In movies
Manipulating me into someone I'm not
Do I really have to be her to make it to the top?
All that make-up and weave girl please
Trying to fulfill someone else's needs
Is this really reality ?
Everyone walking around like an army
Same hair, clothes, shoes, even skin
Hold on, stop doesn't real beauty reside within?
Well I'm not going to sit around and let my own life be controlled
I don't need to hide
Or shade myself with covers
Because I'm an individual
Diverse any other
Not her
Not him
Not they
Not she
Simply me!
