So many pray to be skinny
So many pray to be smart
So many pray to be known
So many pray to be pretty

But have you ever pondered
That those with all those qualities
Wish that they weren't?

Coming from a person
Who deals with what is considered beautiful...
Long eyelashes, fair skin, an hour - glass body, a slim figure, long gorgeous hair, and a brain like a sponge...
I wish I wasn't.

Beauty and brains come at a cost.
A cost no one wants to spend.
The eyes are staring, watching from the shadows.
They wait for you to get it right.
They wait for you to get the girl. To get the boy.
But when you don't, what do they think?

No matter how many people say to be yourself and not care what others think.
We all do.
Public appearance matters to us whether we want it to or not.
And when you are viewed as perfect ... It hurts even more when you prove them wrong.
