Drool Rather than Cool

I'm so pathetic I live my life through the books I read.

I'm not even an interesting person.

 

I can't even take selfies when I want to because I feel so ugly.

I hate looking in the mirror yet I do it incessantly anyway to make sure I look decent.

 

I don't look decent.

I look like a monster.

 

I have thorn bushes for hair and black holes for eyes.

I have dense forest eyebrows and marshmallow puffy bags under my eyes.

 

Every day, I get dressed up and walk out in public with the mindset that I'm the coolest.

I only do that so people won't see the real me.

 

The me that is terrified of people hating her for how she really is.

I'm clingy and obnoxious and too loud and strange and messed up and ugly.

 

Who wants to know someone like that?
