pretty


"you're not ugly"

then why do you keep trying to change the way I look

surgery after surgery they just never seem to stop

the main goal: to leave me looking normal

but why do you tell me i'm pretty then try to inject my lips with fillers 

why do you insist that I need a nose job 

I'm sorry having a cleft lip makes me look not "noramal".

I was 17 and had no legal right to say no, my parents sign the papers for every surgery i've had

I hate surgeries and despise plastic surgeons

I'm 18 now and in charge which means no more surgeries, none.

I'm happy with the way I look

I am pretty.
