Forgotten Ugly Girl

by a broken smile with a broken heart is a poets life   Oct 2, 2008


Her Face is scarred
Her arms have wounds
No one wants her

Her heart is frozen
She resisted abandon
But its cruel ways won

Now before her eyes
They laugh
They point at the ugliness of her heart

Her speech disappeared to silence
She walks among the normal
With her head permanently vowed

Nobody turns to see if she's alright
Nobody will see
Until the flames of hell consume her life

And even then
They will be happy
She ended her life.

    Well done (: Another heart grabbing piece. Short, but packing a ton of raw emotion, and punch. A few things that stood out to me were your use of "resisted abandon." I absolutely love that! Also,

    "Her speech disappeared to silence
    She walks among the normal
    With her head permanently vowed"

    That stanza was my favorite. Excellent.

    (:

    I have one critique for this piece- you used 'filler-words' -her and she- too many times, and that ruined the natural flow of the poem on some places.

    Other than that, this piece is very emotional, truly touching. Your simplistic, non-metaphorical writing style excellently highlights nuances of deep emotions that you obviously put into your writings.

    "They point at the ugliness of her heart"

    This line confused me a bit. Till this point, I was sure that you are writing about this character's physical appearance, so this twist was really interesting.

    - Her speech disappeared to silence
    She walks among the normal
    With her head permanently vowed-

    Very interesting stanza, my favorite from the poem.

    Overall, good job.
