Bonus poem 1: Pretty
"I'm not as pretty as she is
Acne scars covering my face
Dark circles under my eyes
She's clearly winning this race
Running miles ahead of me
I'm forgotten in the cloud of dust
That she kicked up behind her
All I see on your face is disgust
When you look straight at me
Matching my face in the mirror
When I observe my body
My mind spots error after error
Maybe it's all an illusion
Cause people keep telling me
I'm living in delusion
I'm so pretty and skinny
What's there not to love?
I don't see it though
My mind only sees what needs to be fixed
Only the parts of me that don't glow
And there sure is a lot of that to see
Comparison is slowly killing me
My mom advises me to love myself
No matter what
But my body type isn't in style right now
I can't be loved
I don't have curves like her
And I don't have a smile like yours
Lately, my own skin has felt too tight
Like a pair of uncomfortable jeans
I'm too scared to look at it in the light
I'm clearly not what the word "pretty" means
But then again, how is "pretty" really seen?"
