am i pretty enough?

January prompts

life and light and love
my heart, my head, my trust
a pretty smiles enough
but what if its not

flowers, bows, and sunshine
my hair, my eyes, my nails
a pretty face is enough
but what if its not

i can change my hair
i can change my makeup
i can workout for hours
but am i pretty enough?
i can eat salad every day
i can laugh less if i want
but am i pretty enough?

beatuy isnt everything
but for a teen girl its everything
a pretty life is enough
but what if its not

im a rotten mess
im a train crashed through wreak
im pretty close to messed up
but what if im not?

i can change my clothes
i can write all these poems
i can smile for a camera
but am i pretty enough?
i can join every club
i can lead every dance
but am i pretty enough?

i wanna look like the trees
with the birds in their branches
i wanna dance like the stars
spinning round and round
i wanna smile like the sunrise
over every mountain top
i wanna see what you see
in me...

i can change my style
and mix up my tastes
i can feel less in my heart
but am i pretty enough?
i can sprakle like a dimond
i can shine like a star
but the King of the World
says im enough for his heart

until the ink spills
