My state of mind will mock me, though it is mainly my own fault. I should take more care of my body, not scare it. I want to be happy, I want to be called beautiful. But at the same moment, I truly hate it when you say it.
I have a confused mind.
It either tells me to hate it, love it, or don't think about it. Most of the time the words, " You are beautiful," hurts my ears. I yell at you, this I know, because I can't help myself.
So, to get to my point, I'm not sure what I am.
Ugly?
Average?
fat?
Pretty?
Or even... Beautiful? I do appreciate it when you tell me, but you have to understand that it bothers the hell out of me!
My question. What am I?!
