I felt pretty today
Something I don't often say
I felt pretty today
And you went and took my pretty away.
It makes my stomach twist
And my chest tighten
It makes my eyes mist
And my anxiety heighten
And I want to scream…
But I hold it in.
Can’t you see how much it lowers my self esteem?
Can’t you see the sadness behind my grin?
Oh, how I hate feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

Honest, raw, the rhyme softens the blow. Powerful.
You appear to be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sometimes you just need to dump the baggage and love yourself more.
