The small battles

Date of entry: 08/13/23

The color of my skin

The size of my waist

From the length of my hair

To the shape of my face

Why must I meet

These high standards of yours?

Conflict inside me

I'm starting a war

My self confidence

Versus my insecurities

My reassurance

Versus all the worries

I'm strong of faith

But still have doubt

Seeing my flaws

A bit clearer now

Yeah my skin isn't clear

Yeah my jean's are tight

And my hair's messy

Can never get it quite right

But I'm healthy and strong

And I woke up today

So I'll push through the battle

That I face everyday
