You see pretty

So yea, you see pretty
Smiles and charm, 
Wit and woo
You see slender, you see pretty
How together, how smart

The bones and angles,
Body horrible and used,
Tainted and scarred
And scared.

The lie for the world,
Flirts for attention, 
For affirmation,
Validation in existence.

I see my story, 
The chapters I hate
Characters developing from nothing
…into nothing…
A footnote, a blip
In the tale you find pretty,
Yea, you see pretty.
