No More Ugly

No More Ugly

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

I hate being surrounded
By pretty people.
I am the odd girl out.
I'm done being the ugly girl
But no one understands
My pain.
I know who I am
And I am no one
Compared to these models.
I will never be like them.
They have the spotlight
And I have nothing.

Me. It reminds me of how I see myself in the morning but by the end of the day, I know that those who believe they're pretty are shallow, and can't cope while those who believe they're ugly tend to have a humble heart, tend to get the point in life and know it's not all about looks. Honestly, some one who believe's they're pretty couldn't possibly pick up a pencil and write a two word poem, yet you, YOU CAN write. You may think you're not pretty on the outside but everything inside you radiates in gorgiousness. ((No offense intended if I have.)

I would have to agree with "Apparition" below me. You are very laconic in that you get to the point with only a few words. I am loving your style as it is very transparent. I can see your works as little snippets into your thinking/observation/worlds and it is quite an insight. Good job keep up the work.

Better to be ugly and deep than pretty and shallow. Most of those pretty people couldn't write more than a text message or read more than a horoscope. So you already have more beauty upstairs than any of them. You have a talent of not saying much while saying a lot, which I usually find annoying but in this case it is very good.

well don't worry I find beauty to be disgusting and ugliness to be the most amazing thing to be seen. you may not be perfect but your perfectly flawed to me :] sometimes it's better to be ugly, because there's this poem I forgot who wrote it but he said that only the pretty flowers are picked and taken out of the ground and kept in sheltered pots and cages never experiencing anything while the ugly are free and can grow tall like weeds and can even break through stone being ugly is to be free being beautiful is to be caged good poem I really liked it :]

This is a truly sad heartfelt writing. There is such depth in it.
You've surrendered your ego and created words that are chilling.
