My Stupid Blue Eyes

It starts as a dark poem that rips apart my self-esteem and ends in a hopeful voice that makes it out alive.

I look in the mirror

What do I see?

Nothing much

Just little, worthless me

My messy brown hair 

My stupid blue eyes

Nobody cares

I now realize

My dad says I'm beautiful

My friends call me smart

But I know they're all lies

Deep down in my heart

I don't know what to do

So I just run and hide

I start to ask myself,

"Why do I even try?"

But then I think about it

And after a while

I look in the mirror

I stand there and I smile

Now I'm filled with joy

That's when I realize

I like my messy brown hair

and my stupid blue eyes

I should feel lucky

To have the things I do

I really love my life

And this, I know, is true

So when you're feeling down

And you don't want to live

Know that things will get better

For me, they certainly did

I only just stumbled upon your profile and already so blown away by what you create! Every line being so real & full of emotion. It's not everyday that we are able to feel beautiful or happy with ourselves, but as time goes on, we find out a way to cope with our flaws. We look past the little things which we hate & turn them into positive things!

5,4,2,5, once again beautiful rhythm, do you even realize you do it?

[~Kali~]

Not really honestly. I think I'm so used to using this meter that poems just come to me that way! Haha I like having a rhythm/pattern to my work :)

The meter you use is one i really really enjoy and one i use the most often. Kinda like something you could bob your head to as you read it. Very well done!!!

Thank you! And I use this meter often as well, I like when my poems have a little rhythm to it :]
