Pretty

Ha!
Laugh at me
Throw trash at me
Strip me down
Expose me; please

Rip away my crusted exterior
To see what’s really inside
It’s putrid I’m sure
It’s foul and nasty
It’s just the disgusting trash 
You anticipated it’d be
It couldn’t be anything more
Right?

With your manicured nails
And photo shopped perfection
You could never be wrong 
In seeing what I
In my raw essence
Could be
I could never be anything worthy

But tell me please
What you
In all your perfection 
Would do
If it turned out that I were
Pretty?
