Prevalent Fallacy

Stephanie Alford

After being hit on

On a daily basis

Being called pretty

Quickly loses its meaning

When said so lightly

Connotations lost

People never sincere

Because followed by the line

"You are so pretty"

Is "I want to fuck you"

If this is what happens

To those who are allegedly pretty

Then I do not want it

So I scar myself to the point

Where no one will even

Give me a second glance

For the one who really means it

Will see past the superficial scars

    Kady! What are you saying? The superficial stuff's just part of your nature anyway. Right?!?!

    Your poems are so "real" covering the subjects that most wouldn't touch.

    This is amazing poetry here. Amazing because you have been able to touch upon a subject that conjures up raw emotions using a unique type of line presentation. Youtrpicture is awecome, too.
