Pretty

Pretty is
as pretty will be
but being pretty,
well, that just isn't me

Arrogant, when I fall
Scars heal over time
and give me a tiny bit of loving
and I'll be fine

Please don't leave me
Just believe me
I am imperfection
at it's greatest
Every square inch, every section

Pretty is
as it always was
but pretty will never be me
and that's just because

I don't try
and I don't care
So don't ask why
I never play fair
