Today I'm Pretty

Two days ago I woke up, I went to school just like every other day

I looked in the mirror

I never thought I was beautiful but ugly was never in my voacbulary

I went to highschool just like every other 16 year old girl

Sitting down in 6th period surround by societies expectations, I hear a voice

Barreling loudly over whipers of peoples suppositions a boy, he screams

Not one would converse with you if your face did not take the shape of societies mold

Yesterday I woke up but first I went to my bathroom

I put on my shield that protects me from the insults of society

I was not complemented

but I was also not torn down from the stand that I am as a human being

I did not feel what was expected

Confiedence was not inspired but rather emptiness was aquired

Today I woke up

I felt strength to be who I was born as

I did not enter the world with a mask

I will not feel forced to journey throughtout my life with a sheild

Today, tomorrow, forever

People does not dictate my confidence

I dictate my confidence in life
