surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
If I Was Pretty
Maybe if I was pretty had blonde hair and blue eyes Then people who see me at first glance Would never be surprised Maybe with a straighter nose and not so crooked teeth I'd smile a while be glad and not have to focus on what's beneath When every day and night I try to be the perfect girl I often wonder how it would be to not give a care in the world To not have acne scars all on my body and my face To be able to walk up a hill without it feeling like a 10k race With smaller eyes and thinner thighs then maybe I could be The type of girl that has the world handed all to me I could pick and choose the type of life I wanted on a platter But then again with all I know I think I'd choose the ladder With everything all perfect on the outside of my skin I'd forget to fix the pretty part of me that glows within So here I say to all of those that hate their outer shell If the prettiest part is on the inside then I still think that's swell
