Side Effects May Include

When I was younger, no one told me I would be thinking about myself as much as I do now. 

Am I skinny? 

Am I pretty enough? 

Am I prettier than HER? 

Wait, does she like me? 

Was I sexy enough? 

Did I make HIM interested? 

Am I coming off too strong? 

What if I am easily forgettable?

Am I even likable?

Should I be doing more? 

Should I BE more? 

Is it me? 

Is it you? 

Everything & everyone is telling me how to act or how to look. 

It’s like I am blind, but I’m using someone else’s prescription to see myself. 

And I know you feel it too. 

We might have different symptoms, but we have the same disease.
