pills to make me happy,
because i couldn't do it myself.
books to take me away,
because reality is different on my shelf.
makeup to hide my flaws,
because flaws are not beauty.
stress to keep me awake at night,
because homework is my duty.
photoshop to make me insecure,
because organs are fat too.
filters to hide more,
because shadows are flaws too.
