Am I Pretty Now
Am I pretty now?
You told me I need makeup,
You can hardly tell it is me anymore,
Am I pretty now?
You said I needed to lose some weight,
Well i have, now I'm anorexic,
Am I pretty now?
I got some new clothes, more "in style",
But this is not my style at all,
Am I pretty now?
I'm no longer a brunette
I bleached my hair everyone is doing it,
Am I pretty now?
Have I reached your unachievable expectations,
I traded my character,
For nail polish and jewelry,
I traded my personality,
For popularity,
I gave up my health,
So I could fit into a size 2,
I traded my happiness to please you,
I am not the same girl I was a few months ago,
But I do want my question answered,
Am I pretty now?
