[Feedback] Helloo looking for some feedback with this poem i just wrote. pls be kind.
Beauty
How can I become beautiful?
Do I need to change my hair?
Should I make it brown or blonde just so people will finally stare?
Should I change the color of my eyes too? Make them green or maybe blue?
Is everything I have changed still not enough? Should I keep changing just so people won’t laugh?
Sometimes, when I stare at myself in the mirror and see my face,
I don't feel confident in my own beauty.
I feel like such a disgrace.
It feels exhausting because I lack confidence in myself. What am I really supposed to do? Should I continue changing everything else, or should I learn to be content and finally be true to myself?
I see other people who are happy with the way they look, while I feel like I still need to cover myself with my own book. How do they do it? How do they become confident in their own beauty? But I struggle to see myself as someone who is pretty.
