The Ugly Truth

This is a very heartfelt and dark poem. Enjoy. Also has a lot of swear words.

Looking in the mirror,

I hate what I see!

I hate my face with its stupid eyes,

The eyes that you called

beautiful.

I hate my smile now,

all because of you, because you

said it was so cute.

I hate my ugly f*****g ears,

because they listened to every

f*****g lie.

You used to hate it when I

stood out, when I looked

"troubled."

But tell me this reflection,

how am I supposed to blend

in with my worried f*****g

face,

how am I supposed to dull

my feelings,

just so you could get a taste of

normality.

For over a year my identity

slipped away,

and now look where I am

barely scraping by.

Because who the f**k am I?

I became we,

and we became us,

but looking in the mirror, its

now only me.

If only I could begin to scream,

if only I could peel away my skin.

But whats the point in pointing fingers

when the hatred lies within?

It is quite a common experience for many people; something which you expressed beautifully in words.

I love every single line of this poem, it's taking the heartbreak of a break up to a whole new extreme! Great job :D

[Kimberley Reid]

cheers, I'm glad you liked it. I kinda needed to vent some anger, pleased it showed through!

This is a really hard hitting, and relatable poem; your expression is well portrayed, and the anger can be felt so strongly, a really great piece :)

Really liked it, I don't really know what to say lol but i like how you rhymed the end of it, and the emotion you put into your poems.
