please, be honest with me,
even if it hurts,
i want you to stop pretending,
that im beautiful.

look at me, and say,
all the horrible reflections you see,
of the person i know i am inside,
go ahead, its okay to critisize me.

i know, even if your silent,
that you would rather gaze upon,
a body far more beautiful than mine,
that would leave you breathless.

so please, turn away from me,
it will at least give me peace,
to know that im not living in the reflection,
of someone i can never be.

please, just tell me,
that im not the person you fell in love with anymore,
im not that pretty girl who cuaght your eye,
the one you grew to love.

these are all the things i long to tell you,
but instead i let you tell me that im beautiful,
that youll love me forever, just the way i am,
but i know inside, that one day i wont be good enough anymore,
and youll be to affraid to hurt me.

but im begging you , please just tell me.....

you want me to trust you with my heart, when i cant even trust myself not to let you break it.

I can relate to this so much...it is how i feel about myself too...but you are beautiful in your own way, we all are...

Sometimes our minds trick us when we're having one of those daze where we don't feel that good about ourselves.

Show these inner feelings to that person and get the true answer. If that's what you really want.

You gotta Love yourself first.

thak you guys for reading, and yes this is how i often feel about myself. i guess becuase i see him as perfect and i can never live up to that expectation and find it hard to realize in his eyes, ive always been there.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Let his eye see your beauty. And believe it.
