If Someone Called Me Beautiful

If anyone ever called me beautiful, I don't know what I'd do..

I'm used to being pretty but not that pretty.

Plain but not ugly.

I've never been called beautiful.

Beautiful is for people who match some standard.

Not for someone who has freckles all over, brown hair, brown eyes.

Not for someone who excels at invisibility.

If someone called me beautiful, I think I'd laugh.

Say "Thank you."

Hide my shock.

And then I'd think about it all week.

Wondering if it's true.

And then I'd probably decide it's not.

  • A Laugh and a Smile

    The sky smiles when you laugh and so do I.

    Even though we barely know each other, I feel as though I've known you for a million years.

    Your laugh.

    Your smile.

    Everything I've seen and all that I haven't.

  • Sleeping Beauty’s Dreams

    People say Sleeping Beauty dreamed of her prince in the hundred years she slept.

    But that’s not true, not in the least.

    She dreamt of a world where she needed no prince to wake her, where she could wake herself.

  • Just Me

    You ask who I am.

    Honestly, I wonder that too.

    Sometimes I'm one thing, other times another.

    Sometimes I feel like I'm just shattered glass piecing itself back together.

    And then breaking again.
