Pretty isn’t for meA Poem by Lena
I look in the mirror and I wasn’t any skinnier,
From the last time I saw myself I didn’t get prettier, Brushing my hair out, a bunch fell out, Washing my face I feel little bumps, Violet bags under my eyes, Indigo hands after cold night, I tried all the serums, I tried all the masks, I went on a diet, But still I am fat, Doubled chinned face, Looking so squared, Will someone love me, if I’m gonna change? I didn’t get prettier, When cold winter came, I still wasn’t skinnier when summer said hey, My nails are breaking, I’m getting too tall, Will someone see me, like I’m something more? Day after day, of trying new things, I look in that pallet that reflects what they see, Face is still round up, Freckles do fade, Hair so much darker, When did I change? Still I’m not skinnier, still I’m not me, How can I be prettier when pretty isn’t for me. © 2025 Lena |
