Ugly World: The Beauty Standard

Change

I tell myself I have to change.

I look at all those beauties on the internet.

And I feel like I need to look like that.

I feel like I need to show myself.

I feel like I need to lose weight.

I feel like I need to get plastic surgery to fix my nose.

I feel like I'm forced to wear makeup.

I just want to be liked.

I just want people to look at me and think I look pretty.

I've never heard someone tell me I look pretty.

But I've heard people talk behind my back.

"Ewww, she's ugly!"—some guy in my school.

I know I shouldn't listen to people like him.

But if I'm considered ugly by him, who else thinks of me like that?
