Ugly

Sometimes I feel I'm ugly

And I really want to cry

Why are the others better than me?

It really makes me sigh

Those other girl with make - up

And unevenly cut hair

Those girls are the only ones

About whom everyone cares

All my friends look much more pretty

I'm the only one who's not

While they have fun and flaunt their looks

I'm the one who's left to rot

There's nothing I can think of

There's nothing I can do

Maybe I really am ugly

And maybe that's the truth

You speak of physical ugliness and outward appearances. I know, I know, fifteen, sixteen-ish boys only care about the outward appearances at that age. I have two boys around that same age and one of them has worked as a model for Hollister. But boys grow up. And boys do, eventually and contrary to popular opinions voiced frequently by the fairer sex, in fact grow up. They become men. Men, real men, see beyond the make-up, false eyelashes, and breast implants. Those things fade away, wither and die in time. But the soul, the beauty that one harbors within their spirit, I don't believe that ever dies. And one day, a real man will see and appreciate that spirited beauty in you. I have no doubt...

Awwww, don't feel that way. Your pretty girl! =) don't let others get you down...
I really do like your poem. It shows reality in girls...where we often think like this.
But really, love yourself.. =)

Wow! This poem is great! And frankly, this is exactly, every word precisely, how I feel. I'm always. The ugly one, left out, while everyone else is a princess. Give me a high five! I'm on the same boat:)

yea.. High Five! lol. I really know how that feels. I have like... 5 best friends... and all of them look so much prettier. One of them is quite fat because she has this hormone disorder.. but her face is pretty. And the others... they are so good looking *SIGH* its almost nice to know that I have someone else on the same boat with me. lol again!

The hardest person on us is ourselves. Hard to see good and beauty in our appearance. The poem told a real and honest story. I believe we must do our best to look good and try to be content with who we are. A very strong poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
