Today
Just for a moment
I
felt
pretty.
But--
shhhh
don't tell anyone
We're not supposed to be
pretty.
But
Just for that moment
That
precious
beautiful
moment
I felt that
dreams
will come true
and that
I'm not just
fat
and that
(Maybe) I
could
be
loved.
Imagine!
Me--
in somebody's
arms?
Me, being told those
three
precious
words?
How absurd!
Girls cannot feel pretty.
It is not
allowed.
All we can think when we see ourselves is
ugly
ugly
ugly.
"Pretty"
is not allowed in mirror-time.
Just
ugly
We think
ugly
We are
ugly
We look
ugly
We must feel
U G L Y!
It is what we are.
Never
pretty.
That word is not allowed.
Never
pretty,
just ugly.
Even so,
I
felt
PRETTY.
But
everything ends.
I had to stop my rebellious feeling
of
being
pretty.
I had to go back.
Back to
ugly.
No more
dreams
No more
hope
No more
love.
Taking a deep breath,
I closed my eyes.
Back to
ugly
again.
Even so--
I cannot forget that moment.
That
wonderful
hopeful
beautiful
compelling
thrilling
moment
of being
pretty.

you're so pretty, but useless
its one of those moments
when you're lying in bed
its 5am and you're thinking
shit. two hours sleep.
shit. i forgot to do my biology essay.
shit. i think i love him.
i wish he would stop being
so pessimistic
and just admit that the sun
is so fucking beautiful
and when it burns his skin;
turns him red as a lobster
thats when he's beautiful
i know you're sitting there
thinking i'm talking about you;
but don't flatter yourself babe
you don't even know the half
of it.
AND STOP RAINING ON MY FUCKING PARADE!
if there is one soul mate for everyone
then mine must have been killed in
the great fire of

if i were pretty
it feels like i
haven't slept in

and i fear that
if i were pretty
i'd be a

I'm sorry I thought
I'm sorry I thought
I was special
For a second
But now I see I'm not
I'm sorry I wear the ring
You gave me
Because he's not meant for me
I'm sorry I thought
You really cared
But you don't seem to anymore
I'm sorry I thought
I was special
For a second
Because now I see I'm not

Just a poem about how girls aren't supposed to feel pretty, but sometimes we do. Even if we do, we can't tell anyone because we would seem selfish and stuck up.
