Psychology

i'm a judgmental person and I don't know why

I think people who are skinny are beautiful

but I know I should love everyone's bodies.

I think pretty girls are sluts but I pity the ugly ones

and I wish I could just stop and love everyone

but it's hard when they're just as insecure as you are.

and I have a hard time seeing past the surface

I read books based on their cover

and I miss the stories that they mask.

I sat next to a slut today

and I was scared to say a word

she told me she wanted to study psychology

and I did a little self-studying

and now I see she's just like me

just a little prettier, just a little higher up on the social ladder

but just as alone and scared and human

and she's not simply a girl with makeup and a lot of boyfriends

but someone who yearns to be loved

and studies psychology,

the science of one's self.

which makes me think she might be just as lost as I am

and that makes me feel a little more equal to everyone else

which strangely, feels a lot better than I thought.
