Beauty Standard

In the last few months
I put on some pounds.
But when I look at myself
in the mirror,
I seem to look healthier now.
Why is it then so,
that I hear some whispers sometimes:
Oh, she was so much prettier before!
or
I think she misunderstood
how before and after pictures
should look like.
Why do people always
have to say such comments?
Pretty is RELATIVE.
We all have our own
beauty standards.
So - why do they keep
messing with mine?
I am trying my best,
but a lot of the time it's still hard
to be my beauty standard.
