Social-In
The size of her body Society says it's not cute
Now she's looking in the mirror Not knowing what to do -
Maybe body slimmers , she thought..
That should do But why should she try to fit in even if she's a size two ?
Her nose is too big
Her pimples are noticeable
And her hair is dry All she wanted was someone to love her - Wipe the tears from her eyes
Make makeup, she said - that should do
"Your ugly" was the statement she began to believe was true
Maybe Im too dark She began to bleach her skin
Am I white enough now?
Will they finally let me in ?
Slimmed her waist
Beat her face
&' Colored her hair
Now, she feels as if she's no longer living in F E A R !
