A girl who was afraid to be
<p>In a world that prizes perfection, she felt like a sin,<br />
A soul trapped in a body, where shame did spin.<br />
Her reflection in the mirror, a face so thin,<br />
She saw a stranger, not the beauty within.</p>
<p>Her heart raced as she hid behind a mask-<br />
A shield of makeup, a disguise to ask.<br />
For love and acceptance, but never found,<br />
The courage to embrace her true form profound.</p>
<p>But one day, she realized, she didn’t need to hide,<br />
To conform to society’s expectations, she could reside.<br />
In her own skin, with all its imperfections and might,<br />
She found strength in vulnerability, a new light.</p>
