Make Me Feel Pretty Insecure

Are you pleased? I must ask after your silent observation From the crown of my head to my feet This was for you The length of my shirt And the belt folded in two The pants grazing the top of my feet to tease you The black lining my eyes The hard curl of my hair The moment I stood to reassure myself I imagined you taking a view So now, tell me Is it good enough? Does my polish suit my skin? Is the tint of red on my lips inviting? Let me know And tomorrow I’ll change my skin And we can do this again
