Drew Barrymore -SZA by Simrah Sasenaryan (18, Florida)

​Put me in a room full of mirrors
and watch me crumble.

---

​Watch as I pull myself apart
and weep.
Watch me scramble to get out.
I’m trapped!
Someone help me!
Someone teach me that my skin
is skin that deserves to be loved.
Teach me how to erase the self-hatred
that is smeared all over my skin.
Drown out the voices that furnish my
head and bring me down.
Teach me that despite my flaws,
I am still warm enough on the
outside.
