Like You

I want to be graceful just like you.

Pretty like you,

Lovable like you.

but I am not you.

I am outspoken.

I am broken.

I am the definition of all that is undesirable.

I am refered to as "cute"

never beautiful.

I have a "good personality."

These things hit me subliminally.

Making me feel homely.

I like people 

but not their backhanded words.

I don't want to be tolerated.

I want to be adored.

My entire life I have been treated like I am defective.

Now these limits thrusted onto me are holding me captive.

I am not you 

and because of that I am stronger.
