maybe, change all my clothes

help me find happiness

cuz i'm stuck here pulling teeth

till I'm all I want

if I'm all I'm not

maybe i'd feel complete

I'd be so relevant

with just a few more friends

pressing "like" on my posts

all our features, our names

a new me you haven't seen

same soul, different sheen

so close to everything they worship

one cut then stitch me up

I'm insecure
