Screw The Rules I Have Green Hair

I shut society and everyone else out

They say 'be yourself,' but judge you when you reveal it

Hypocrites, telling a girl she's not pretty unless you have a gap between your thighs

Or displaying anorexic girls in magazines for us to yearn to be

But do you really want to send the message to children that appearance is key

No one has the right to set this standard yet we are bound by this chain to live be up to this absurd expectation

So I am forced to stay without a voice, hiding behind a mask

Waiting until it's my time to ask

'Who are you to tell me how to live my life?'

Because in the end words do hurt like knives

But just you wait and see

I will not be scared to show my personality

One day the world will wake up and realize

It's not just the way I look that matters,

But the way I decide to use what God gave me

I will show you all what true beauty really means

It's not my makeup, or my clothes, or my hair

It's what my heart, and my mind that really matter
