It gets exhausting

It's exhausting trying to be perfect.
Don't you people get tired of it?

Every strand of hair placed strategically in the right place.
Curl it here, straighten it here.

This shirt has to be worn with these pants, those shoes.
Eye shadow must be the perfect shade.
Eyelashes made up to the perfect angle, with the right amount of mascara.

One pimple, five pimples, twenty pimples, gotta cover them all up.
Blush here, bronzer there.

Can't be too trashy. That's immature.
Can't be too classy. That makes you stiff.

Gotta impress these people, even though they're already your friends.
Have to fit in, like what others like, do what others do.

...Just stop trying.
Or if you have to keep trying, don't try so hard.

Do... you
Be... you
Accept... you
Love... you

Know that you truly are enough
Don't give major time to minor people
Period.
