All I want is to feel beautiful.

I want so desperately to be

beautiful,

so I write my

beautiful poetry using

beautiful words;

but that;s a lie.

It’s not beautiful.

Each and every one of my pieces are

horrid,

ugly,

defected...

just like me.

There’s no way I’ll ever be

pretty

(or pretty enough).

Nobody wants me,

anyways.

 

I’m made to be

lonely,

that’s why my mind seems so

complex.

I’ll never be alone;

I always have my thoughts...

or not.

Truth is,

I’ll never have anybody or

anything I want;

even though

all I ask for is someone to make me feel

beautiful.

 

Is that too much?
