I don’t feel pretty.


I used to, but it now feels like my confidence got crushed by a ton

Crazy that someone’s words can stick to you like glue

One comment can change how you see yourself for years to oblivion


Maybe I’ll feel pretty someday

My confidence will slowly construct and be put back together

Like a puzzle that has been sitting on your coffee table for the past few months and everyday you put a new piece one after each other


On that special day when all the pieces align 

I can feel good about myself 

I would trade anything to just feel fine

What inspired me to do this was how school, society, and media puts a toll of self confidence.
