Maybe I Care Too Much
In a world full of beauty and bliss I lag behind Where fair is lovely I console myself saying brown is beautiful I pretend to be confident and cold about looks My weight does not affect the way I feel – I say But deep down I know, that I pray I pray for a fairer tone, a slimmer body And a confidence that I don’t need to fake Every day, i am reminded by people in different ways that I need to change The clothes don’t look good on me because I am dark The clothes don’t look good on me because I am fat People won’t like me because I don't fit the beauty norms The comments haunt me The anxiety makes its way through, all day all night It feels like I am nothing Maybe I care too much Maybe life is supposed to be as such
