To Be Pretty

To Be Pretty

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

I don't need fasion

To be pretty.

Not nailpolish, not makeup

Not even jewelry.

I used to cut

To feel pretty.

But people soon hated me

Because I could never explain.

No one would've understood my craving

To be pretty like others around me.

I cut no more

But I still wish and crave

To be pretty.

All beauty comes from within.

Woah this is deep and I can relate to this a lot. What always keeps me going is that personality is what makes up a persons beauty. We were all born without makeup, jewerly, clothes, etc. However we were all born with a heart and a brain. :)

I was hooked from the start. I used to feel the same way, and then I took a look at myself and said "I'm pretty, no matter what anybody says" and ever since then, people started to see me how i wanted to be seen. Just remember, everyone is beautiful, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You make yourself beautiful. I got off topic, sorry. But I really liked the poem. You had great emotion. Keep up the good work

BEAUTY these days is never based on what it should be... you have to be a fake barbie with pounds of make up on ur face..
I think your Beautiful...
Everyone is...
No Matter What...

Pretty is on the INSIDE.
Remember that, always.

"fasion" should be fashion.

You've created an imagine that will stick
in my mind for awhile. Well done.
