Pretty

All I've ever wanted to be was pretty

Maybe society has tampered my views

But it wasn't particularly so someone will love me

It was more for me, not you

Pretty is a confusing concept;

It has been pulled, stretched, and plucked

So in reason, we're all pretty

But to me that isn't enough

I don't like my pretty

I'm not happy with myself

I want thin, I want petite

I'm not comfortable in my shell

Deep down I know I'm beautiful

I just find it hard to believe

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so blind

And saw the beauty within me
