i am a lot of things but a pretty girl is not one of those things.
i am not one of those girls who beauty comes so effortlessly for. i don't turn heads or stop the breath of bystanders that are just walking along. i don't have people envy me, or wish they were me. i can do a lot of things, and being one of those girls is ont one of them.
i'm afraid of this sudden realization.
i'm afraid that everything i ever want will be taken by one of those girls who are so easily dazzling. i afraid that all they have to do is give that person one glance and my wishes will be stepped on and crushed underneath their delicate smile that hypnotizes everyone but me.
i'm jealous of them. i'm jealous of the way they captivate people and instantly gain the admiration of those that are around them. i'm jealous of the times when people stare at them from nearby cars or stop just to talk to them in the hallways. i'm jealous that being wondrous or amazing is something they just do and don't even have to think about.
i'm friends with pretty girls. and it's difficult to get through the day sometimes. it's actually exhausting to be around them.
i'm sorry. i'll stop being an irritating person.
EDIT so auditions are next week. this is going to be interesting. |
