if i were pretty
i’d be thin and curvy in all the right places.
i’d have a soft but flat tummy, never rock hard, but never comparable to gelatin.
i’d have smooth hairless arms, and glowing skin, with slight imperfections, but nothing overtly grotesque, so that i would seem approachable.

if i were pretty
my hair would be just past my shoulders, and almost straight.
the color would either be a shiny black or a healthy medium brown with natural reddish highlights that shone in the sun.  even when my hair was a mess, i would still look stunning to the random passerby.

if i were pretty
my nose would be the slightest bit narrower, my lips the slightest bit bigger, my cheekbones just a tad more pronounced, and my face would be as smooth as the day i was born.
i’d have no more than a few freckles across my cheeks, but enough to give me that extra added adornment.
my lips would always be the slightest bit red, so that i wouldn’t have to wear lipstick if i so desired.

if i were pretty
i would most likely loathe myself and my gorgeous features and everything that made me who i was.
i would absolutely look at someone who looks like i really do now, and write a self loathing piece of art, describing that as what i wish i looked like.

if i were pretty
i would look at myself in the mirror and wish i was someone else.
