"Each morning she wakes, her mind fills with self hate.
Convinced herself she wasn't made for this world, she begins her day.
Her mirror screams words whispered by the world that told her she wasn't
"Good enough".
"Popular enough"
"Smart enough"
"Thin enough"
"Pretty enough"
She has had enough of the "enoughs", but won't speak up to end the "enoughs".
She's been - stuffed full of destructive scowls and smirks.
Below her skin she's breaking to burst from their descriptive scripts and torturous looks.
What's buried underneath she'd kill to give you a sneak peak, BUT
What's buried underneath might kill her if she had to give you a sneak peak."
