I don't understand why I am so caught up In wanting go be pretty You can BUY pretty It comes in pretty bottles Scented cream-form Sealable powder containers And tube mixed with glitter A beautiful soul Cannot be bought But a kind-of-ish guy friend Told me I was pretty today I think he was just being kind though And I wouldn't be interested anyway Then earlier today Some random grade 2 kids Yelled at me As I was walking out the door: You're hot Great so five seven year old boys Think I'm hot I don't think that counts In fact it probably means im extra ugly 'Cause you can't trust a grade 2's taste But that's not my problem My problem is Beauty is aways What girls are complimented on When it is so common It has a price tag. What has our society descended to When "pretty" is the goal

Idk, what do people think? Does a seven year old thinking I'm hot actually mean im extra ugly? Lol it was kinda funny though. Getting catcalled by someone who is up to my hips in height. Haha
