You're vain. Ugly, but vain. Silly. Work with it.

Fight it. But not too much.

Too much and you're pathetic.

Accept it. Deal with it.

They will judge and forget. Maybe. You will remember.

Don't try too hard! Play the game

Make up. Tame this mirror. Stand in front of it and hide what you can.

But not too much!

They would laugh and forget. Maybe. But you won't.

They will all say beauty isn't skin deep.

It's not a lie. Not really. But most don't care.

They will only see what is to see.

Do your best. But not too much!

Too much and they will look at you, really.

You don't want that.

Let them have a look and forget.

The ugly that does her best. They will leave you alone. Maybe.

That's good.

Hide under it. Play the game



Master the make up. A little. Not too much. Too much and they would look.

Master the hair. Not too good! They would look. You want to be invisible.

Being fat is good. But not too much!

Fat helps. They don't see you. Hide under it.

Clothes. Not the trend. They would look and jest. Keep low, keep invisible.


Master the mirror. Tame it. From ugly to bearable. Play the game!

A few will see you really. Be careful. Hide.

Make up hair clothes mirror and smile but not too much. Never forget the truth under the mask. Play the game!

The best you can hope is to be invisible. They will see you try and acknowledge it and leave you be.

You can be ugly and vain.

You just have to know how to play the game.
That's actually an old work, a quite, very old work. Well, what I remember of an old work, in fact. It wasn't that easy for me at that time. I was that kid. You know, the one that always had the same old clothes and was excused from spirt because the teacher had seen the bruises but was too coward to say anything?

Well, when you're like that, you're also too stupid to realise that you can't really belong, you can't be part of the crowd. If in addition, you aren't pretty, or smart.. Boy, you're on for a hard time. It's life. You survive, don't worry. It's just that you have to learn to play the game.

It isn't easy when you have bagages to, well, master the arcanes of living with others. You look at some and think, why not me? You want to be pretty. You want to be popular. You want to be loved. It won't happen (Sorry). But in the end it doesn't even matter. I promise.

There will be bullies. There always are. And people will tell you "Ho, you will see, later they will be ashamed of themselves." NO. They won't give a fuck, or they won't remember (humans are so good at forgetting) or they may even like it too much to forget. But you, you will have survived. And thet's all that matters. Because in the end, living is winning.
