The Girl Inside
The girl inside hates herself.
She hates the way she laughs-
She hates the way she cries,
She hates the way she sees herself through her own eyes.
She hates the way she walks,
She hates the way she talks,
She hates the fact that she has to act, like nothing is ever wrong.
The girl inside is me, you see,
The girl that wishes she could be-
Better, smarter, skinnier, prettier,
Anything, anyone, that is,
Except me.
