Wish I Was Beautiful

I think a lot of people can relate to this.....i always think that it is worth reminding people that often how we see ourselves is not how others see us....it is not necessary a help because it doesn't matter how often people tell us these things ultimately we have to be comfortable in our own skin but still it's defo worth remembering.  

Awesome ink

Thanks I mainly wrote this from both a young perspective to now when I first struggled with body image issues and somewhat now where I still have those issues like " oh look that this woman why can't I look like her?", " god why does my body look like this?!" " I'm so fat!" or " I'm so ugly!" or even " why did my face have to break out, I hate the way I look".
So I've dealt with having these issues for a long, long time and never being able to have a chance to feel pretty

You're sexy as hell
With great writing to boot

Like you

i was very saddened by this poem and its horrific purpose  ?

i would like to comment if i may

you feel so unsophisticated,  aesthetic take time, remember anything of a pecuniary taste, leaves a lot of waste, conspicuous waste,

putting plastic into the sea, the architecture of facial creams dose not prolong life, opulence bring with it snobery, unbalanced

children, too an another point that i shell make

because you are under selective surveillance, what i mean, products that are aimed at your age group they look for venerability  sell their products that never work . let me add,

kitchen utensils are designed to serve use, you and me, things, things you talk about in your poem, serve them not you

because we belong to the labouring class, you think you are not good enough,

because you are a mother you have became a  slave to a cultural shift, one gets caught between a loveless marriage, children who

ignore you, bill to pay, no light at the end of the tunnel,  just be your self, the true self, the inner-self, the beautiful self

that is with in you.
,

Um 1. I'm not a mother so I don't know where you got that
 and 2. I wrote this in a perspective of both when I first dealt with body issues during when I hit puberty to now as a young adult still struggling at times to love certain flaws about my body even trying to change them as much as I can
and 3. next time read this more carefully before commenting since you didn't understand the circumstance or what this poem was about or that the main goal is to shed a light on how women sometimes think these things too

Great write. I think this is something we all experience no matter our gender, class or  location. Hopefully will help others going through it.

If that's you in the picture, you are beautiful! And very sexy as well!

It is lol thank you for reading

thanks for your writings

Thank you but keep in mind I was writing both in the perspective of the insecurities i had both past and present and also writing in a general female perspective about how women sometimes wish they could change something about themselves whether their height, chest size, butt, hair color, eye color, lips, cheeks, etc. overall every woman has a little something they feel insecure about even those with high self esteem because it's hard to feel beautiful without feeling inadequate in a world where you're constantly being told to look flawless on a daily basis.
To never have acne, have beautiful curves, have no cellulite, no stretch marks, perfect make up, sexy smooth legs with no scars, let's not even mention no belly fat whatsoever, and any hair on other areas of your body besides your head and eyebrows is for some reason unnatural and ugly needless to say it's not easy to look beautiful as a woman nor will it ever be since you're constantly living up to the standards of having to compete with these every day Barbie dolls whether in the media that pump themselves with nothing but silicone and lip fillers and get extensions for their hair and wear tons of make up and call that 'real' and then go out on the streets and see the type of girls wearing weaves down to their back, a crop top up to their neck, and booty shorts that are so short and tight that guys would push you away and care about the chick in the skimpy outfit instead of the girl wearing just long sleeve t-shirt and baggy jeans and her hair up with no make up on.
But anyways just to set this shit this straight it's not fictional, I'm definitely not fictional and mostly whatever I write depending on what it is of course isn't

Yeah it's like why is it that girls for the most part have no problem accepting guys for who they are and their imperfections but yet have to always worry about the assholes that won't love their body for they way it is.
That would make me feel so depressed since i even dealt with a lot of bullshit from this one guy I used to date and he would subtly make comments about my weight like basically calling me a potato and making me feel fat and along with him flirting other girls and cheating on me and I felt more insecure so I basically took it out on myself and tried my hardest to work on myself.

But yeah not many guys will be mature enough to pick personality over looks which is stupid so that is definitely better than to basically be so predictable and shallow and just rather choose a girl who's so low on IQ points that it's because half of her brain went into her breast implants, she'd rather spend the entire day shopping and watching Keeping up with the Kardashians instead of working, and her only goal in life is to be 'Instagram Famous' lol

He was young actually, only like a five year difference from me since I'm a little younger than him and basically I guess he assumed I was the naive one when really I wasn't.
But yeah I agree, I think when it comes to the Internet and guys there's this whole new look on women and sex both good and bad because since for example when guys first discover dirty videos online and see the stuff they're watching from an early age they are most likely gonna be like " oh good sex always looks like this" and basically takes everything they're doing and tries to practice it in bed and same goes for the whole young guys being used to these air brushed models thing.
They see these sexy, air brushed, Photoshopped girls with big booties, curvaceous hips, smooth legs, tan skin, beautiful hair, gorgeous eyes, beautiful smile, and their first thought isn't " is this retouched?" It's " damn she's cute!" So you put these cute model pics out in front of a 21 year old guy and his response is definitely gonna be basically she's hot, or I want that.

Thanks Orenda :)
I wrote this both based on past feelings and present feelings and also how women sometimes feel the need to want to change themselves in general and basically making this poem as a motivational write and showing girls you aren’t alone
