No. Don't.
Don't say you're pretty.
You're not.
---
You're not pretty.
You can't be, ever.
Anyone who says that you are
Lies.
Forget the word.
It will never be you.
---
You're not pretty.
People need to stop
Telling you you are.
With the way that you are
You will never be pretty.
It's impossible.
---
You're not pretty.
Because pretty is such
A small, simple word,
That you cannot be pretty.
Because you are so much more
Then pretty,
That the word just can't do you justice.
Because such a plain
Simple
Boring
Petty description pales in the face
Of such a smart
Breathtaking
Talented
Jaw-dropping
Hardworking person.
---
So no
Never believe that you are pretty.
You are anything but pretty.
You are a miracle.
