Smile pretty

Empty thoughts, smile pretty When can I hangout with my friends next?! What time is practice today!? Which friends should I sit with at lunch today?! Where should I go for dinner tonight?? Why am I so distracted today? Why are my grades slipping? Why does my body not look like hers? Why are my grades not as good as theirs? Why cant she be my friend? Why cant he love me back? Why cant I be skinnier? Why cant I sleep at night? Why cant I quit? Why is my hair not long enough or blonde enough? Why do I only feel better about myself when Im tearing others down? Why do I look this way? Why do I feel this way? Why cant I have her life? Why cant I be perfect? Why am I such a disappointment? Why cant I just shut up? Why cant I be like everyone else? Why did I start hating myself? Why did I let their words into my head? Empty thoughts, and always smiling pretty
