Ugly Me.

This is how I feel.... As always.

Here I go again,
Wiping away the tears,
with the smile I hate to wear.

I will once again become,
The energetic,
bubbly girl you all know,
and secretly hate.

I wish it didn't have to be this way,
I wish I could be myself,
But then I would have people,
yell at me,
and openly hate me.

So here I go again,
wiping away the tears,
with the smile I hate to wear,
another day survived,
because no one can see,
the real, ugly me.

it won't always be this way

great job on this

I like the energy here, but it feels a bit too confidential. "The real ugly me" could be a million things, and that is what I wanted to know most. If you're presenting something to an audience, don't hold back anything, otherwise it can sound flat or like too much of an inside commentary. You want the reader to really hone in on those moments that are most intense or emotionally strong. Sometimes people aren't ready to express how they feel, and that's completely okay. It still feels like you might not be ready to confront this idea yet. But if you are, and just don't know how to approach it, try formulating some new ideas or brainstorming a different approach. As the poem stands right now, I could only guess as to what the issue is. I thought it could have been that you were gay, or that you were harboring some deep secret that people would not accept. But those may have only been guesses. Sorry if this was a blunt review, I just feel that everyone deserves an honest criticism every once in a while. Good Luck in the future. Hope this helped. And remember, don't shy away from anything you write. If you're ready to write it, tell it how it truly is. Thanks.
