Wish I could be like you, with clear pretty skin
Maybe people would like me if they knew what's within
But I'm the girl with the acne, they don't know my name
It's how they describe me, it makes me feel so ashamed
Is all you see the big red dots
And all my scars of the pimples I've popped
Cus I swear there's so much more to me
But the acne's the only thing that they see
They keep giving me suggestions of skin creams to apply
But none of them work, trust me, I've tried
I swear that I'm not dirty, I keep my face clean
I wash it everyday and do a skin care routine.
So every night, I stare in the mirror
Asking myself why my skin still isn't clearer
Do I need to work harder, is the problem me
If I can fix this, will I be pretty
Do I mess up the picture (should I hide my face)
The one that ruins the scene (should I step right out)
Should I even go out (I should stay at home)
Would they even want me
Am I just imperfection (Imperfection)
Only seen for my flaws (Am I just a flaw)
The focus on my complexion (don't look at my face)
Trying to figure out the cause
And yes, I'm the girl with acne
It's the first thing you see
But I hope the second is my smile and the things that make me happy
I like singing songs, and I like making jokes
I try to study hard, sometimes people copy my notes
And I like writing verses and I like making art
I have lots of big dreams and make my wishes on stars
I love dancing but only do it in my room
I'm kind of scared of people, I don't know how to break through
And yes, I'm the girl with acne, but that's not all to me
And I hope someday, someday, you can see
