You take what you can get

And if you can’t get one of those pretty faces, you can’t get a whole lot. Not having one of those pretty faces, it’s taught me to appreciate the things in life and in people that aren’t superficial. The things that people truly deserve affection and attention for. It’s also shown me how cruel people can be when all that matters is a pretty face. I’ve missed a lot of opportunities for friendships because I’m not that pretty person on the surface that they would want to be friends with, but it has also caused me to make friendships with people who truly care and appreciate me for what I am past the surface. It’s given me the kind of insight that a person gets when they’re not the star of the show, but one of the people in the background. At the same time, it tortures me. Sometimes I want to scream and shout and fight for what’s right. For who the true star should be, usually someone who is near and dear to me. But they don’t have that face that everyone lusts for. And sadly, neither do I. And that’s why nobody will listen to me, to her. And no wonder, everyone who is important is just a hypocrite. They say our world is superficial, and they’re right. They are living breathing proof of it. And they fight for all the things that they didn’t have to go through to get to where they are, or the things they think *look* good to fight for. Most importantly though, not being pretty has taught me how nothing is fair. Also how to deal with that. Because some day, those pretty people will get into a situation and for once it won’t be fair for them. And there will be nothing for them to do about it. Us observers, we will sit back and watch those people in the spotlight embarrassingly get what they truly deserve.
