The Beauty Standards

I WISH I WAS THE BEAUTY STANDARD 
tall with a button nose and WHITE
But I am not
I am a 5\'3 black teenage girl
It is heartbreaking to realize that you will never fit into that mold
It is heartbreaking that I will have to
except who I am
Fake it till you make people say
Every time I try
My inner most thoughts creep up
Then I\'m back to self-loathing

It is heartbreaking to realize that your
Heart won\'t except who you are
Every time I try I am digging a
even more deeper gave for
myself to fall back into
I wish I can change everything about myself
I wish I would wake up and I would be different
I WISH I WAS THE BEAUTY STANDARD
