Analysis of Pretty Killed



I want to be pretty
I want to be skinnier
I wish I was loved by someone anyone, I wish I wish I wish
But pretty killed my dreams
Killed my hope
I knew it would never come true if I was me. So I changed. I changed so much that even I didn’t recognize myself cause pretty killed what I had left. I want to be prettier to feel prettier. But I can’t because pretty killed my only chance. And everything pretty kills always stays dead.
