pretty hurts10 Years Agoyou see victoria secret stars
and commercials with gorgeous women,
so you start dreaming of becoming a model at 7
making it your priority, a mission.
"why couldn't i be pretty
tall and skinny like the girls on t.v,
i know that they worked hard to be that way
beauty doesn't just come free."
they're drop dead gorgeous
slim without a blemish on their face,
it's like they were born perfect
born into the correct race.
you have to be white
you have to have a thigh gap and straight teeth,
they won't accept you if you don't have the right qualities
they'll put you beneath (everyone else).
you have to have long flowing hair
you have to be 5'7 or 5'8,
they don't want you on billboards or magazines
if you don't have those traits.
abs and a small waist
fitting into jean sizes one and two,
before you know it you're suffering from anorexia to be like them
and you didn't even have a clue.
tiny portions of food
exhaustion in your eyes,
the camera is torturing you
filling you up with tormenting lies.
you "inspire" numerous young girls
you have all of the riches,
but at what cost
just more surgery and stitches.
"you need to stand up straight
you need to eat less,
stop sleeping and work out more
you're starting to look like a mess."
without make-up you're a whole new woman
without the flashy clothes you're free,
but that's when they judge you
they don't want you to be filled with glee.
you're trapped in a contract
stuck in a career full of lies and pain,
and you can't do anything about it
not even cry out in vain.
but remember when you were younger
and you wanted to be like the girls on t.v.,
you thought that they were so perfect
that they were problem free.
but now you experienced the pain
you took part in their show,
and you didn't think you would go through this
you would have never known.
you were just a child
a young girl with enormous dreams,
and you ended up in a devil run buisness
something that wasn't what it seemed.
and you learned that it's not all that you wanted
even though it had a few perks,
but in the end you know what it's like to go through pain,
after all, pretty hurts.
