She doesn't need make up

to make herself pretty

She doesn't need to lose weight

to make herself ****

She doesn't need high grades

to gain respect from others

She doesn't need muscles

to achieve more power

She doesn't need to take off her clothes

to make someone fall in love

She's already beautiful enough..

somehow—
the glint of the moon
on the crystals that dangled,
turned the fog
to fireworks.
it’s chilly and snowy here

you always know
when to point out
the beautiful things
you just always seem
to forget about yourself
remember

le vent souffle
mes cheveux et
le soleil brille.
je vois les fluers,
ils ont beaucoup
des couleurs,
leur parfum
remplit l'air,
je suis assis
sur les fleurs
et regarde
le ciel lumineux.
c'est noire
maintenant,
mais les fleurs
sont là toujours.
je disparais
avec la nuit
et regarde les
belles fleurs
du ciel.

When I take off my makeup
When I wash out my hair
When I change my clothes
Am I still beautiful?

I look in the mirror
and see what isn’t there
My nose, my hips, my hair
I want to be pretty
Not see what isn’t there
My eyes, my teeth, my chest
I don’t want to meet my eyes
I’m ashamed of that I’ll find
I want to be pretty
Not see what I don’t find
My arms, my back, my legs
My feet, my hands, my face
I look into the mirror
I want to feel pretty
I want to see inside myself
Not see what isn’t there

Cakes, cookies, cheese
Oh can I have them please
Burgers, dogs, fries
I can’t live with all these lies

Friends, fakes, foes
Oh what I’d do for some ** hos
Mascara, lipstick, eyeliner
I wish I was in a greasy diner

Short skirts and high heels galore
I’m starting to look like a *****
They say they’re worried of my composure
They are the reason I changed my figure

Skin and bones they say
But they said I was the size of a sleigh
I did this for them to make them happy
But here I am unhappy and former fatty

Long lines of clouds could be seen
under the dense blue where a so-called
  'space' is available who wish to explore a
new world where humans do not inhabit
the mind and take control of your body.

how freeing, not even a bird could compare
to aimlessly floating around next to the Stars,
glimmering in the dark abyss, which I compare
to my old planet filled with a dark sense of humor.

This foreboding taste of the lost little girl,
who is an alien among her own and
to the stars. But at least those welcome her
with bright grins and burns. Not a sugarcoated
tongue who forces its way down your throat.

                               for simply

                being          the        Weird

                                     one.

I remember when I saw you at first, sitting at the front with some ranks on your shoulder - the proctor with cute dimples.

I remember that cute little girl with whom I wanted to have a friendship but couldn’t as I was too shy to hit up a conversation.

I remember that pretty girl whom I met after 9 years and she was just the same as she was 9 years back.

I remember how everything had stopped around me after meeting her that I spent the night just seeing the ceiling of my room.

I remember that silky brown haired girl with whom I have cheerful memories of talking at 3 in the night.

I remember those shining eyes with whom once I had a stroll and she grabbed my wrist with her right hand and the same arm with her left.

And I won't forget that cheerful face who loves to wear her black shoes more than anything else.

The voices in my head are louder than all the others,
they say I'm pretty,
pretty enough to sell my body,
pretty enough that I don't need to work.

They tell me I am strong,
strong enough to keep the tears in,
strong enough to hold you
but not let you in to the hidden chambers of my heart.

They say I'm okay,
okay enough that I can keep going,
They say it's all good,
they say it's all true.

But I want to be beautiful for myself,
not for someone else,
I want to be strong with someone,
not for someone,
I want to say I'm okay,
and really mean it.
