My life is good,

But why do I feel so empty?

The kids don't see me, and if they do,

Theire looks can be so petty

My life is amazing

But there's still something missing

In the hallway the kids seem normal but in my head I see

Kids who point and stare

A girl lost in a world

With people who don't care

I stand in the mirror

"I AM BEAUTIFUL! "

I could scream for hours

But I'm the only one in school

That knows it

I'm not sad I'm just missing a piece of me that I might have lost a long the way to class

It's hard to be a girl today

You see pictures of perfection and will do anything to look like plastic but one day will you just be re-used Why go through all of it

Why not look in a mirror and see perfection

Well you see its hard being a girl today

You feel ignored

Left out

You are a dog abandoned in a hot car

Left to suffocate on all your insicurities

Not left alone because no one loves you but left alone because they forgot you IT'S HARD BEING PLASTIC

sure I'm not perfect and sometimes I wish I was made of plastic

Because I see parts of me I wish I didn't have to see I know I'm beautiful

But do they? It's hard being a girl today.
