Beautiful
We’ll do the craziest things
 to our bodies
 for a useless
 cause
 Not even worth
 the slightest
 
 We’ll do it anyway
 Squeeze into shoes
 too tight
 will never come off
 Even if my feet
 have blisters
 are sore
 
 The vile
 obnoxious
 chemicals
 we’ll apply to our faces
 Now we’re beautiful
 To try to make
 us
 catch your eye
 
 What a shame
 How naked
 they are
 Out in public
 Snowing cold
 and still they’re naked
 Still beautiful
 
 We’ll kill ourselves
 for all the right reasons
 Make ourselves
 Ugly
 Damage
 all that we are
 because we want
 to be beautiful
 All for you
 
 I’m not a part
 of the 
 killing ourselves
 I want to be strong
 beautiful for myself
 Not some boy
 who won’t
 remember my name
 Only a week later
