All day, I've seen them, images of the perfect, the ideal- the standard that I could never dream of becoming. I'm reminded of it all the time, I can never escape it. In the streets, the images stand stark and bold, highlighting the seemingly perfect illusion. Even in the company of friends, my ugliness is remarked upon and made the subject of fun. To be nice, I just smile and nod, hoping that one day someone won't compare me to a monster. I don't want to tell my friends' to stop, because I want them to stop. I just want someone to look beyond the surface, and see something else. Then again, I'm a hypocrite- or so it seems.
I wish these feelings would not stir so rapidly, and that Rex were no longer part of me. I still have trouble accepting my humanity- it's as if these feelings are new, or as though I don't know how to handle them. Yet, even in posting this I feel a tinge of guilt, for there are people with worser problems than Rex. What's wrong with me? Who am I?
