Society's Laws are Our Flaws


We look in the mirror and see nothing but flaws

We tears ourselves apart because society defines the laws

 

Bags under our eyes and a nose too large or too small

We are completely appalled

 

We are too consumed with jealousy

So we admire others endlessly

 

Why can't we be beautiful like them?

 

Because.

We. Are. Typical. American. Girls.

 

Society defines our flaws
