I Don't Want To


Straighten that hair!

I don't want to

Cover those pimples!

I don't want to

Lose some weight!

I don't want to

Keep your thoughts to yourself!

I DON"T WANT TO

Why Must I?

Who are my imperfections hurting?

You?

No

Me? 

No

So why is this world so concerned about my looks?

When I look in the mirror I see me 

I don't want to wake up one day and have to look in the mirror and say:

I don't want to
