Can you {paint.me.beautiful}?
I live inside a portrait of imperfection
Feeling ugly, diseased, and i n f e c t e d
I've been called a dreamer
Looking to the *stars* for comfort
Only to find-I've simply fallen

Why do I feel ugly on the outside
& stunning within?
Why do I try to hard to be stick.figure.thin?
Can we pretend, I am :amazing:
& let our eyes collide
With our hearts and minds?
What happens if you r e a c h for the stars
and come up .short.
If your beautifully broken;; and shatteringly ignored
What if-you were only thought of as a whore?
Until the world hears those silent words
Can you .paint.me.out.of.the.hurt
& {into} you?

Interesting poem on asking to be painted out of past hurts rather than erasing them by forgetting! A good poem!

Not bad to br breaking a writers block. I like the flow. And rememebr it is the imperfections in ourselves that give us character and make us who we are. Our inperfections are what make us perfect to others.

Very nice.
I like the way this one really flowed.
The word use was good and the phrases blended into each other.
I love these lines:
"What happens if you r e a c h for the stars
and come up .short."
This is the first Dirrty.Pretty I've read in a while, and it was definitely a good one.
