Beauty Is Ugly

This is a poem about how society paints a picture that women have to complete,to get the title of beautiful which causes pain to many kids and adults alike.

The sunsets on the hills

And my life is so very still

Not moving at all frozen beneath the wall

Of beauty

I am ugly not beautiful at all

They always tell me as I walk

The halls they scream my name

With "w***e" after it

Not knowing the pain

They cause me everyday

I go home and cry away

Putting makeup on to erase the pain

I scream and shout punching the walls

Not knowing what's wrong with me at all

I am ugly, I am ugly I am always ugly

Never beautiful never lucky

Enough to be as beautiful

As the girls on the TV

Magazines or anything in between

I am ugly and worthless

They always tell me

Never meant to live but to die on my knees

To society

You have so much compassion for women. It is a shame women feel they have to conform to some idea of beauty created by fashion magazines. Again, your expression of emotion is powerful. Lydi**
