Stranger

Although, I don't know you

Your words mean so much to me

And even if you dont realize

You are one that completes me

 

Without your opinion I am empty

Kind of like a pool...

I don't seem to be important

If I'm not being used

 

You see, I need strangers to tell me

What they think of my appearance

Without unknown people to judge me

My mind is incoherent

 

The way I see myself changes

When people call me names

The effects "pretty" and "whore" have on me

Aren't even close to the same

 

To make up for one criticism

It takes at least five admirations

 So why do I get heaps of disapproval...

But hardly any appriceciation?

 

I am confused and scared

By this world in which we live

That's why I hide in my room

On the internet

 

I don't know why it means more to me

Coming from someone I don't know

Maybe because they aren't obligated

Like my friends and like my beau

 

So thanks for making me feel so great

About myself and my 'issues'

Suddenly, I find myself

Not needing so many tissues

WOW. . .

 So why do I get heaps of disapproval...

That stanza is so powerful, but you don't need any admirations you're worth it. :)
