I am Not Pretty

You are beautiful.

When I looked in the mirror. I wanted to be pretty.

I wanted to be merely noticeable. I wanted to be contained 

in my own realm of pretty.

I wanted to feel as if my skin were a blanket

made of diamonds.

I wanted the mirror to speak to me 

as if i was in control.

I wanted it to tell me that I am a being of light and shining armor.

I wanted to be.

I wanted to be pretty intelligent, pretty face, a pretty good 

couple-of-seconds glance.

I wanted to be considered more than a five letter word.

I wanted to be greater than the less.

I swear I wasn't dying, I wanted to see what 

my pulse looked like from the inside.

As the mirror finally shattered in m face, 

pretty was no longer a word.

But a word to be disgraced

Mirror merely reflects your skin and fails to reflects yours feeling and true heart! What you wrote at the end is very true pretty was no longer a word. But a word to be disgraced by intelligent lol. I like reading your poems its nice thanks for sharing.

You're one of the prettiest I've seen to be completely and utterly honest. I can promise you that. You seem fairly intelligent to me and you have such a pretty face.
