8th September 2025
Today the last day of high school began,
and in the car, I thought to myself,
'why not take a picture?'
after all, I had liked how I had done my hair,
and my outfit for the day,
maybe I'd finally have something to post on Instagram,
I've never done that in months
and I finally felt pretty.
I pulled my phone out and took a picture,
when I looked at it, I changed my mind.
I started to dislike myself again,
and it was July all over again.
On holiday, in cute dresses
but the pictures made me self-conscious.
I'm too short,
not skinny enough,
purely not... pretty enough.
Will there ever be a time when I'll think to post a picture,
and do it without thinking it over 100 times?
