AM I PRETTY?

white lies

why did you lie to me

and called me pretty

making me to 'actually'

accept it,

'Am I really pretty?"

.

when everyone else

ain't even trying

yet subtly enough

to make me realize

how hideous i 'actually' am

.

so why do you have to

light up the little

spark of hope,

that was never there

unfolding the hoax?

.

is it you?

or is it everybody else?

that i depend on

or you may say it's me

but what if i am

one of everybody else

why did you lie to me?
