Pretty

I try oh so hard
All of us do
We have up a guard
We try to change your view

We aren't good enough

Do you even see us
Do you even care
What if we put up a fuss
Do you care what we wear

We are only human

You sit there and judge
Ten points off
For one single smudge
This life is tough

I just wanna be called pretty
