Am I pretty now.....?


As i look at myself in the mirror All i see are my flaws and what i can do to make myself look prettier I'm not like the TV stars or models. I don't have a nice body and my face isn't clear Will changing myself make people like me? Well I'm gonna try. My clothes aren't the nicest. Should I throw out my priorities, and buy clothes at the highest prices. Will it make my look stylish. Well here it go, Am I pretty now? My hair is not straight or long If I change my hair as trends move along Does it make me look like I belong Well here i go, Am I pretty now? My body isn't the best Should i go under the knife for this unrealistic request. Do i put my body under that stress Well here i goes, Am I pretty now? I don't look like a model Should I skip eating and only drink for a bottle Do I keep on going even tho I feel awful Well here i go, Am I pretty now? I have generic Brown eyes Should I get contacts to hide them in disguise does that make me full of lies. Well here i go, Am I pretty now? Do I need to fix these things to find love. To catch someone's attention and not the lack thereof. Someone to give me the everything and above Well here it goes, Am i finally pretty now? This is the world we live in today Where it's less about what in your mind and more about you looking a certain way. Where innocent young minds worry about how they look instead of going outside to play. Your not so pretty when your hearts full of hate. Step back and look at your priorities before it's too late. Let's get one thing straight I am and always will be Pretty.
