If I Could Be Beautiful For Just One Day.
I Still Wouldn't Believe A Word You Say.
I could do my eye shadow a thousand times,
Maybe correct my lipstick,
Though I've already tried,
Convince myself, I look pretty
in a million different dresses,
And tell myself, I don't look fat,
Even though I'll never believe that;
I could wear that beautiful outfit,
And feel like the queen on the dancefloor,
I could smile whilst moving my hips,
To the beat of the music,
Whilst crying quiet tears,
Because my dance partner might use me,
I could listen to you say,
"Your beautiful," all night,
But words aren't enough,
They never convince me;
If I could be beautiful for just one day,
I still wouldn't believe a word you say.

Powerful. Want to give you a massive hug, and persuade you and myself that we ARE beautiful 🙂❤
Oof, this one hits! All glammed up but still doubting—relatable. That last line? A mic drop of feelings.
Well you should believe you’re beautiful! And this was a beautiful, brilliant poem! Amazing work!
