Poetry

Side character,

Ugly stepsister ,

Odd little caricature,

Wish I were slimmer,

Face thinner,

Just like the Insta pictures,

Pretty figures,

Little whispers,

Scared of mirrors,

Should I skip more dinners?

Til my figure, is totally killer.

Jealous of my “little” sister.

Model pretty, your man’d be dizzy.

I know I’m silly.

But that’s insecurity,

Immaturity, complete obscurity.

Losing myself in “PRETTY” society.

Pretty; pretty is a word defined by ones own idea.

My idea is inhuman, true delusion.

Like the model Twiggy

I just want to be “PRETTY”.
