Ever since I was a little girl, I had always wanted to be pretty. To be a beautiful princess, a tall and irresistible super model, the gorgeous actress of a telenovela, or the weather girl that always looks fantastic, even though that's not really the purpose of her job.
Laughing, dreaming, and playing silly games. All that to grow up in a society where they DEMAND YOU to be pretty because if you aren't, you'll never be good enough. In a society where you are judged by your looks and not by your skills, where you are treated as a ****** object.
I didn't mean that when I said I wanted to be pretty!
Being catcalled, sexually and psychologically  harassed, **** attempts... and the list continues.
Everytime, going out with fear, dressing as covered as possible, crossing to the other side of the street and being forced to be extremely prejudiced with people, because you never know if you are going to be the next victim.
I DON'T WANNA BE PRETTY ANYMORE.
I wanna be smart, capable, kind, loving, respectful, honest, funny, creative, generous, strong, loyal, determined, humble...
But above all, I wanna be
RESPECTED FOR WHO I AM.
I'm not a poet or a writer. Just a really tired person. Sorry if I ****.

Why won't you talk to me anymore
What happened
We were getting close
We where friends
What did I say wrong
Can I fix it?
Can I make anything right again?

I said sorry
You said stop
I said you know what I'm not sorry
I keep seeing that in my head and it hurts me to know that we are probably going to not be friends anymore.
I can't think about that anymore
It hurts
Answer
Please
You helped me
You stopped me from doing something I would regret
I did not commit suicide because of you and I love you but, I know you don't love me back.
And that is what hurts me the most.
I have this friend well I don't know if he is still my friend but I am a young and hopefully, life is going to change and I hope that things between us get better.

— The End —
