You're So Pretty

You're so pretty

I wish I looked like you!

Compliments

All adoring and encouraging

Yet...

Meaningless

You're so pretty

I don't know how anyone couldn't like you!

Why not?

I'm just like anyone else

Who breathes and bleeds

I hate me, too

You're so pretty

I can't stand you!

Jealousy

Another insecure woman

Who doesn't want to make friends

All because her man

MIGHT

Find me attractive

You're so pretty

I bet people come to see you all the time!

It's lonely

I haven't really had a visitor

Not for months

People normally assume I'm surrounded

You're so pretty

You just don't understand what it is like

To be rejected!

I understand...

I understand I am pretty

I understand rejection

I understand what it's like 

To be judged

AT FACE VALUE

I understand what it is like to be belittled

All because to some

They view me as just some pretty distraction

With no feeling

Without a purpose

I know all too well

Because you just did, too!

I felt the depth of what it's like to be a beautiful rose in a garden full of thorns. The evolution of women in modern day society is so cut throat and competitive that even the things meant to be enjoyed in life, like love and relationships are a competition and a mark on who has the best piece of the cut. I love the way you drive this write with intent to deliver a message.

Expressed well the frustration of self-doubt and the genesis of jealousy... An instructive piece of writing
