How my hair looks effortlessly chic: a french braid and sore arms.

How I stay calm: a journal filled with slander.

How my skin stays so clear: a green face mask that sometimes burns.

How I'm so smart: hours of studying I claim I can handle.

How my hair is "so long omg": biotin pills taken nightly.

How I give such good advice: past experiences with streams of tears.

How my eyes are so blue: turning up the contrast on the photo ever so slightly.

How I keep a smile on my face: ignoring my deepest fears.

How you perceive me: how I decieve you.
