Pretty Sight

What a pretty sight, 

The small streaks of colour

That dare to expose themselves

To the world 


What a pretty sight,

The vibrant splashes

That leak through my clothes

To the surface 


Am not a pretty sight

My eyes are red and puffy 

And I've stuffed myself with cake


I

Am not a pretty sight

There's too many folds in my body

And red spots all over my skin


My mum's got clear skin

My dad's not that fat

 I'm the only one here

Who doesn't look perfect


Maybe I was born just to be laughed at

Maybe I'm not pretty enough to be human

What if my existence is only a thing

So that everyone else knows they're flawless?


Maybe they expected much more beauty

Maybe they cry like my mirror cause I'm so ugly

What if I was born on a different planet?

Would I look somewhat decent there?


I

Am not a pretty sight

You're all disgusted by my smiles

And the way I look in a dress 


Am not a pretty sight

I know it's obvious

But it is that hard to lie?
