I Just Want to Feel Pretty Again

A Poem

I just wanna feel pretty again,

I know you tell me all the time that I am,

But I just wanna feel pretty again.

I look in the mirror and see everything I wanna change,

I just don’t understand…

…shit, I just wanna feel pretty again.

No one sees it and no one understands,

Everything I feel, see and wanna change.

Why can’t I just feel pretty again.

I’ve pictured myself a thousand different ways,

None of them as I appear,

I just wanna change.

New clothes

New hair

New me

Damn, why can’t I just feel pretty again.

I wish I could tell you,

Exactly what I see,

But I can’t.

Can I see, what you see?

Because I’d do anything to feel pretty again.

Everything I’m feeling,

Everything in my head,

All these voices telling me,

You won’t be pretty again.

With everything I’ve been through,

The wars I’ve overcome,

With everything I’ve seen,

With everything I’ve done.

Everyone see me,

But just who I’ve become.

There’s so much more to my story,

So much more that I’ve done.

You’d never guess,

I’m one tear away from just being done..

If I told someone how I was feeling,

What exactly runs through my head,

They’d all think I’m crazy,

No one ever understands.

…All I want is to feel pretty again.
