Pretty

she never thought she was pretty enough always walked with her head held down, not wanting anyone to notice the blemishes she tried to cover up she was never made aware of how beautiful she really was inside and out she just wanted to fit in so then came the little bitty shirts with cleavage overflowing and the itty bitty skirts she could barely fit in she just wanted attention from those guys the guys every girl wanted on their arm she got attention alright.. that friday night never thinking inviting him over would cause any harm her parents were outta town house all to herself she was rare..virgin at the age of 16 but that was about to change with his help he knocked on the door, she let him right in the night started out perfect watching a movie, all snuggled up on the couch in her mind thats how its going to end if she only knew his plans were far from hers just asked him to get her some more coke, but after that her night became a blur because not only did he fill her cup with coke, he slipped in a little something on the side and on that couch, while the movie was still playing he stole her innocence and her heart just died not able to move, but aware of everything that was going on he was hurting her scarring her mentally and physically and all she could do was lay there even after he was long gone she just wanted to feel pretty just wanted to fit in now she felt disgusting just soaked in the tub, scrubbing and scrubbing trying to cleanse her skin never really spoke a word of this til years down the road she was young. didnt wanna get into trouble thats why she never told now she can speak on it just wanting to help young girls that remind her of herself trying to make them understand that beauty is only skin deep and to feel pretty, you dont need a man's help it took her years to feel pretty again to allow herself to trust another man but she got to a place where she felt safe in life and that is walking with him hand in hand by him i mean God, she gave her life to him she trusted him to keep her safe to let her life begin she never felt prettier she found it deep within letting herself finally exhale and breathe in a life lived thru him
