Every Average Girl


I'm every average girl who sees models on magazines,

And spends her time thinking "Why can't that be me?"

I'm every average girl who sees a face full of acne,

Who's image in the mirror makes her unbelievably unhappy.

I'm every average girl who doesn't fit society's "perfect,"

And sits and wonders if changing herself is worth it.

I'm every average girl that thinks she can't be loved,

Who cries because of a loneliness she thinks she'll never be rid of.

I'm every girl who'll learn she's not doomed to fail

That all I really need is to learn to love myself.
