What About now?

August 11, 2017

Call me fat

Call me stupid

Call me bitch

Call me nerd

Do you like yourself now?

Punch my face

Kick my stomach

Choke my neck

Cut my arm

Do you think you're prettier now?

Type I'm ugly

Type I'm alone

Type I'm hated

Type I'm worthless

Do you think you're braver now?

Watch me rise

Watch me succeed

Watch me earn awards

Watch me be great

Do you regret it now?
