The truth surrounds her

Pretty

What is it?
Is it a butterfly's blue wings under a dim light
Is it a river sparkling under the moon light
Is it a bright red rose on a green stem
No.
Its not
Everyone thinks pretty is
Being skinny
Having clear skin
And having a big behind
But that isn't pretty
Pretty is a dying rose
Muddy converse
Wind blowing through a girl's hair
The gap in her teeth
The way she laughs
Freckles scattered on someone face

That is pretty to me.
