This is for the people who thinks I am pretty. Thank you.

“You Called Me Pretty”

A quarter away from the end of my life you said I was fine
You watched the blood stream from my face and you called it divine
You gave me burdensome battles I wasn’t supposed to face, and you gave me no weapons
I was a soldier who’s supposed to fight for my life but I have nothing in my possession
You tossed all my self aside for more than a decade just to be pretty in your perception
I asked you questions upon questions, but I was wordless and there was no sound
You heard nothing echoing even from the closed chamber of this world and all I heard was
“You’re so pretty, you can do it, you can stretch a little more.”
Stretch ‘til my bones broke and my soul shattered,
 stretch until my skin releases a river of maroon colored glitter
Stretch until my voice can no longer release an army of dreams fettered
“You’re so pretty” you told me while I was nauseated by the sound of my own cries
“You’re so pretty, baby” you told me while I was crawling back with aggression
Waiting for your arm to reach out and just hold me and you did and you told me
you did a good job today in obeying me, you are so teachable, and look at your face, so colorful
Colorful, you’re right it was colorful, because my face was painted with colors of blue, yellow and black
Specially painted by the things that came out of your mouth, the death stare in your eyes,
the strength of your hands which I thought was meant to protect me, but those were all lies
because when I sought rest you gave me otherwise, you gave me war I can never surmise
seeking for your guidance to help me get through the dessert, you just pointed out the things I lack
but that’s okay, anyway, midway you looked at me and told me I was pretty
when I bedecked myself with all of your dishonesty and endured all the disenchantment
you told me it showed so much of my strength while I was grasping for air, another death stare
I was not allowed to rest, to resist to retaliate because you told me I was pretty
but I no longer want to be called pretty, I want nothing more but to be free
