When compliments where handed out, I was an afterthought.

You're only highlighting the obvious, i am the plain one.

Remember Cinderella?

I would love to try one those glass slippers. Who doesn't?

I always see myself as one of the faceless of the crowd.

There is a secret little girl in me who secretly aches for a fairy godmother to magically bumble her way into my life, wave her wand and make me the princess i have always wanted to be.

Make me beautiful.

Make me captivating.

Make someone notice.

But i know, life is not a fairytale.

Magicwands are only for pretending.

I have concocted a few lies to make life hurt less and then forced to live them.

-all from the book DO YOU THINK I AM BEAUTIFUL.

peace.
