"A beautiful personality shines brighter than any pretty face"


Pretty dresses, sparkly shoes
Do you see me now?
I see you
And you're  perfect
And I'm in love
But you don't notice me
You don't see me
Am I not good enough?
Mascara, eyeliner, blush, lipgloss
Do you see me now?
I see you
And you're perfect
And I'm in love
But I can't get your attention
You don't like me
Am I too shy for you?
Low-cut shirts, short skirts, high heels
Do you see me now?
I see you
And you're perfect
And I'm in love
But I don't impress you
You don't want me
Salads, long runs, baggy clothes
Do you see me now?
I see you
And you're perfect
And I'm in love
But I'm too full
You don't like curves
No food, laxatives, baggier clothes
Do you see me now?
I see you
And you're perfect
And I'm in love
But you don't see me
As I'm halfway-gone
Why don't you see me?
I'm what you want now
Why don't you like me like I love you?
Maybe
It's not me
Maybe
It's you who isn't fitted to my needs
Maybe
It's you who isn't good enough
Maybe
I deserve better
Maybe
I don't
Need
To
Change

Writers are a less dangerous version of the career criminal. Everywhere they go, they see the potential for the perfect crime. The difference is that writers have better self control.

You see life from everyone's point of view. I love how well you tell this girl's story. It's sad that this is, for many girls, more than fiction.
