Multiple people told me they liked my earrings one day

So now i wear them everyday 

Someone said they liked my pants

So i wear them at every chance

People like when my bangs are swooped out

So i do it, no frown no complaining no doubt 

When i wear tight shirts i get more compliments

What the hell is wrong with this?

I shouldn’t have to change myself for people to like me

But then why do i feel that need?

Being yourself is hard

Especially if you wanna go somewhere in life, go far.

I’d like to propose a different plan

One that’ll make me feel better in the end

a changed man

This is about feeling like you have to make everyone happy before yourself. Like having a confrontation with yourself in the mirror.
