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.
