Self Esteem

19 5 10
                                    

I know that you
Were trying to protect me
The way you always do

I know that you
Didn't mean to hurt my feelings
The way you always seem to

But it felt like
You were calling me reckless
Which I am not

But it felt like
You were calling me ugly
Which I might be

Is it really so hard
To let me make a decision
For myself

Is it really so hard
To let me add some depth to my hair
For my self esteem
