but maybe if you only allow yourself to see the bad you won't get to see all the good?

err...flaws are pretty ^^ I'd be lying if I say a Barbie girl is better than the others. You see your flaws?
I see individually, Perfection is standard decided by a brainless society. I can't tell yo to accept yourself, I can only hope you do~

I know this is pointless to say, seeing as your poem is about how pointless it is for others to call you pretty, but I just want to say this.

I've been there. I still am there. but there's something I've been learning, a concept I'm just beginning to understand.

For every flaw you find in yourself, theres something about you that someone else is jealous about. Whether its part of your looks, your personality, or, most likely, your talent, someone is watching you and wishing they had what you did.

So be proud. Stand tall. No one has to be pretty. And I know how it feels to want to look good, but in time I've learned to decide for myself who I want to be. And in the end, common definition of 'pretty' doesn't apply to me, but thats alright. I'm happy about who I am. And in time, I found others who think me beautiful as well.

Ego and self worth are an endless, lonely battle almost every girl faces, but just know that you are strong enough.

I know. I've been there.

Eh, I understand what you're saying, but there are quite a few people who just phish for compliments like on facebook, the little highschoolers who glam themselves up, take a million pictures of themselves, photoshop the living shit out of them, then post all those pictures on facebook with the title "lol, I'm so ugly!" Or "See? I told you all I'm ugly, now do you believe me?" That is compliment phishing at it's finest. I had a friend on facebook, and even though we weren't especially close because we were related with the fact that I was friends with her older sister, but I knew her when she was younger and tried to council her on school and tell her how highshool life is going to be, and she did this all them time. I would tell her "You know very well that you're a beautiful young woman, I watched you grow up into a fine young woman and to be calling yourself ugly when you know very well you aren't that's an insult to yourself, your family who love you dearly, and your friends who all care for you." I would say this over and over again, and then I just got sick of it when I saw yet another picture of her in those stupid thick rimmed "scene glasses" which are really just 3d glasses with the lenses pushed out, saying yet again "See so-and-so, I told you I was ugly" Again it was photoshopped beyond recognition. I just said "Yeah, you're right, those are ugly glasses." as a sort of joke and teasing her a bit, she deleted my comment. I left another comment saying that it wasn't right for her to delete my comments so much, I said something like that over and over again to which she kept deleting it. Finally she just un-friended me out of nowhere, which is ridiculous considering all the help I offered her without any explanation. So yes, there are people who really don't feel comfortable with their bodies, but in reality who really is completely comfortable with themselves without a worry about how they look? It's not fair to just label yourself as ugly, because it's not true, chances are you are just looking at the negatives with yourself when there are plenty of positives, so for every negative you find about yourself try to match it with a positive, for example, I don't like my nose or teeth, but I do like my eyes and hair, I don't like my ass, but my stomach doesn't look too bad. It's all about evening things out. Anyway, my point is that yes, there are people who truly think they are ugly even though it's probably just a self confidence thing, but little girls and boys who post pictures of themselves all over the internet with the caption complaining about their looks, they're just wanting attention and compliments. Done with my rant.

Totally ripping off your style, but I had to comment :

I SAY YOU ARE PRETTY. NOT
BECAUSE I HAVE LOOKED AT
YOUR PICTURE OR
WISH TO ARGUE, BUT
BECAUSE I'VE READ YOUR
POEM. WHAT YOU HAVE TO
SAY IS BOTH HONEST AND
CAN BE EMPATHISIED WITH.
I SEE SOMEONE WHO
LOOKS AT A LOT OF DETAILS.
YOUR POEM SHOWS A MIND
UNDER THE FACE. AGE WILL
ADD FLAWS TO ALL OF US, AND
IM TOO OLD TO COUNT MINE.
I SAY YOUR PRETTY
BECAUSE BEAUTY, LIKE YOUR
POEM, TOUCHES DEEPLY.

Thanks so much for posting this. This is exactly how I feel... Your really pretty, and one day mabey you'll see that. I have been told I only say I think I'm hidious is because I want attention, but I don't. I actually hate getting complements. Is it alright if I put the thumb code on my page? Thanks =3

I sometimes feel like this a lot but then I remember that society has set an unrealistic standard for beauty. And If you don't like being told your beautiful then you probably shouldn't read this. When i was little I remember going to the zoo and seeing butterflies. They were all different colors and each had different patterns. That is exactly how humans are, and just like the butterflies we are all pretty.

I really know how you feel. Some people say I'm cute or pretty. I don't think I'm hideous though. I definitely don't hate myself for how I look, really. Hell I even make fun of myself now and then.
And especially with the whole "I know how my stomach looks when I'm standing in my bra". I've always had a tiny build in general, but a Pillsbury Doughboy tummy since I was a kid. xD Now I've just sort of been like "Yep. That's there. Poke it and die."

You know - I also feel like you but sometimes (on rare occasions) I look in the mirror and for a moment I catch a glimpse of someone who is truly beautiful. I hope you have those rare moments as well.
