I don't feel good enough
I don't know why but I don't anymore
I remember not caring what everyone else thought about me
I remember having friends who weren't all boys
I remember having "friends forever" as what we always said
I remember dressing up and feeling pretty
But anymore you can't or you'll get made fun of for somehow someway you will
It doesn't matter if you are nice
It doesn't matter if you care
What matters is or what they think matters is being perfect
Having the best life
By making ours a living Hell
We try so hard to be good enough for them
We try so hard to be pretty
We try so hard to be heard
But NO all we get is a face full of names and snarky remarks
I being me don't get along with girls
because they have called me so much shit in the past
like "slut", "whore", "hoe", "ugly", "fat", etc.
But none of those things are true unless I believe them
They only call me that because I hang out with all guys and that's okay
One of these days I'm going to have an abusive boyfriend
and they are going to help me but you know what
who isn't going to have help when they have one?
All those people who called me those names,
who called you those names
it's not fair to be the way we are when everyone else isn't.
