"that girl"

————————————————————————

i dreamed of being the girl that people couldn't ignore. the one people turned their heads to look at when she walked by. i wanted more than anything to be beautiful. and i envied the women who effortlessly wore perfection like it was as easy as putting on a pair a clothes. aphrodite would've been proud of them. they were so full of beauty and grace. so completely breathtaking. and i was as nothing as a girl could be. i broke my soul trying to place myself into their world despite the fact that i knew i didn't belong in it. every time i looked in the mirror, i couldn't help but attempt to tear my heart out to ease the pain of what i saw. i wasn't enough on the surface or from why only the eyes could see. and i always knew that beautiful was something i was never meant to be.
