Ugly

A Poem by Emma Marie Taylor

                           
         Ugly

                                                                
                                                                   I am ugly
I am free
I am ugly
I am me
I'm what you aren't
I'm what you hate
I'm the face you forever cursed fate
I am the monster in your eyes
I am the lips that only speak lies
I am the reason you're heart is bitter
I am the words you spit and titter
I am ugly
I am free
I am ugly
i am me
I'm what trips you
I'm what causes you pain
I'm what you use to play your sick games
I am the person you only saw once
I am the face you ignored for months
I am the girl that ruins your dreams
I am the person that rips you at seams
I am ugly
I am free
I am ugly
I am me
I'm what you tortured until I was broken
I'm what you burned until I was black
I'm what you smack for one golden token
I'm what causes your smile to crack
I am the girl that did you no wrong
I am the girl that will never belong
I am the face you spat with words
Whispering chants of stomped cowards
I am the face you smiled at smugly
As you cut in my brain
The filthy word
Ugly
I am ugly
I am free
I am ugly
I am me
I am the girl that will ignore what you say
I am the girl that will forever stray
I am the girl that shall bring you a scare
I am the girl that is your nightmare
I am ugly
I am free
I am ugly
But I am me

I really enjoyed the power of this piece. How it leaves us with the feeling that our own internal strength shall always overcome the negative effect of bullies. Nice ink!

"I'm what you use to play your sick games"

"I am the girl that did you no wrong
I am the girl that will never belong
I am the face you spat with words
Whispering chants of stomped cowards
I am the face you smiled at smugly"

STORY OF MY LIFE!! -.-"

I think that this was very powerful and has a great flow. A real eye-opener.

Great job!!! :D

It was a tad long, but a nice read.
"I am the girl that will ignore what you say
I am the girl that will forever stray
I am the girl that shall bring you a scare
I am the girl that is your nightmare " - I love this. Powerful ending.
