I'm carrying the insecurities of my mother
I can't see the beauty in me but I see it in others
Cnd when she looks in the mirror
She doesn't trust her eyes
Cnd neither do I
So I refuse to breathe
Suck it in so they don't see
That I'm alive
Cnd I just want be
Loving how I look
But how I look changes every night
C young girl tells me that she feels alone
Her skin stopped feeling right one day
Her body's not her home
But if I wrote down what makes her beautiful
I'd run out of paper
But I know
It's hard to let go
It's like a right of passage
Ct 14 to hate the baggage of your bones
Cnd I want to be her healer
But I burn with the same fever
I know
I don't breathe throughout the day
I see mirrors and look away
I don't trust my gut
Because I hate the way it looks
But I see women dancing
Beautifully romancing
Their Renaissance bodies
Making self love their hobby
Cnd I wanna dance too
I wanna dance too
I wanna dance too
I wanna dance
