I am not beautiful

You tell me I'm beautiful,

pretty,

gorgeous,

But why?

Because you are not tricking me,

But only yourself,

You think,

"If I tell her she's beautiful, maybe I will grow to believe it too."

Well sweetheart, it is working?

You ignore the flaws of my body, my face,

Only to deceive your own mind,

Because if you saw my flaws you might no longer love me,

You chose to ignore my acne,

Because if you didn't, you're afraid you would leave,

You chose to ignore my protruding chin when I smile,

Because you wish you had someone who could smile sunlight rays,

You chose to ignore the redness in my skin,

Because you want to believe what matters is within,

But is it working dear boy?

The more you use the word beautiful,

Does it make you any more confident being around someone who's not?

Kinda a slam poem I made up quickly.

I'm feeling kinda lonely and these are the thoughts running through my mind.
