Not Pretty

Not Pretty

Pretty is a mirror
of that which is around me
it's an image
of that which I put on me

my face,
my hair
it's what you say
to arouse me

Beautiful is a word
an emulation of pretty
it's a gold star
on my assignment in life

Sexy is a play
you wish to cast me in the role
I know not the lines
or even the cues

I am not pretty
I am not beautiful
I am not sexy
I am cold

You are blind
I am deaf
You are numb
I am mute

My heart is already a veteran
My soul is already lame
My flesh is already marked
I am not pretty
