i wanna be beautiful

i want to be beautiful

but i cant hold on

i want to be beautiful

but i cant stay strong

 

im tired of crying 

and tired of lies

i cant take it any longer

i just want to know why

 

why im not pretty

or why its so much pain

i just want to be beautiful

call me that for a name

 

im not here to be used

im here to enjoy

and i want you to respect that

and not use me as your toy

 

im sick of these times

where i sit here and write

im happy all day

and im depressed by night

 

i just want you to see

ive only been used

and i just want to be beautiful

and dont want to be screwed

 

you wipe away my tears

and say you love me so

but i know to you im not beautiful

so soon i feel i must go

 

im sorry im not skinny

or dont wear makeup all the time

but you can still make me feel pretty

by just dropping one simple line

 

im sorry im not in a magazine

or on a video on the web

but im always there next to you

when you go to sleep in bed 

 

so once again im sorry

maybe someday ill be good for you

and maybe ill be beautiful

and i hope ill  feel that way too

I have tosay i really liked this poem. I have found out throught the years that everyone is beautiful in there own special way and thats includeing you...

My dear, Morbid... if there is one thing I have learned in my lifetime is that you are beautiful no matter what anyone says about you. Despite the lack of self-esteem you need to reassure yourself of that. I know the feelings expressed in this peice, because I was the same way long time ago. You look at other girls, or celebrities in magazines and want to be just as beautiful, but Hollywood gives a false impression of beauty. If a man in your life is making you feel ugly, I say get rid of him because he is not worth bring down your esteem more. You need someone that will make you feel like a princess, and always makes you smile. You'll find him soon enough. Keep your chin up, and smile. Life is a beautiful ride.

debileah said it best, you are what you feel you are, and if this is the real you talking... let me assure you, sweetie, if you're looking for the approval of a man, you're looking in the wrong place. You know yourself better than anyone, besides God, will ever know you. You know the beauty that you possess. I see it in the heart of your message here- Honey, you are beautiful but you have to believe that or my opinion is worthless.

They say the that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and beauty is only skin deep, you are as beautiful as you feel, you don't have to be skinny or wear make up to be pretty, all you have to do is love yourself...this is a sad write but a good write. Thank you for sharing, Debileah
