Fighting With Myself

Fighting with myself

Arguing 
About every possibility
On how to
Manage my life.

Debating
What clothes
Are acceptable
For my appearance
To where I can continue
My studies.

Wondering 
If a few pounds lost
Wouldn't hurt
Or 
If my flaws
Stand out to much.

Whether
I'm lying to one face
Or one hundred faces.

Tell 
The truth 
To my mother
Or walk away.

Fighting
Everyday
About everything
To make myself
Acceptable.
