Pretty
December 5, 2017
How skinny do I need to be
To finally be pretty?
How long does my hair need to be
For me to be pretty?
How much designer clothing do I need to wear
So that they say I'm pretty?
How many layers of makeup do I need to cake on
For my reflection to be pretty?
What about my hips?
My chest?
How big do they need to be
For people to pay attention to me,
For people to envy me,
For people to tell me that I'm pretty?
How long do I have to wait
Until I feel pretty?
