Only as Beautiful

by assbuttwiththeTARDIS

Four drabbles about what it means to be beautiful. Depressing for the overly peppy. If you know what these things are called, review and tell me! No pairings. Yet. CHAPTERS 3 AND 4: ELPHABA AND GLINDA

2. As They Think You are

Thanks to everyone that reviewed! You made my day! And thanks for telling me what this is called!
So, this is Elphie this time, and it's pretty short.
Can't think of anything else to ramble about, so here's the drabble! (I LOVE that word! It sounds like drizzle... kind of... oh well...) Enjoy and review!

I am only as beautiful as they say I am.

Which means I must be pretty damn ugly.

I break mirrors.

That's why I don't own one.

This is what they say, so I believe.

Never a kind word.

Not even a smile.

So I become what they imagine.

I am ugly.

I know it.

No amount of cosmetics and magic can change it.

I am only as beautiful as they tell me.

I must be a monster, then.
