I am...
I am Broken and Insecure.
I wonder why I am so ugly.
I hear my “friends” talk about me behind my back.
I see the pretty girls and wish I looked like them.
I want to fit in.
I am broken and insecure.
I pretend I’m happy when I want to cry.
I feel stares of eyes darting at me because I don’t belong.
I touch my stomach and wish I was skinnier,
I worry people will judge me before they know me.
I cry constantly because I know things will never change.
I am broken and insecure,
I understand I will never be as pretty as the other girls.
I say “I’m fine” even though it’s a lie.
I dream of being beautiful.
I try to keep a smile on my face.
I hope someday my smile will be real.
I am broken and insecure.
