If you could only see

by WintersAngel   Jul 13, 2013


There's obviously something wrong here
Can't you see her smile isn't right
Her hair isn't the right color
God, she's a horrid sight

Her eyes are awful
Dull and not something nice to look at
Her bones stick out
But she's horribly fat

Freckles blemish her face and body
Her arms are way too long
Her body is way too short
Look at those muscles, she's not strong

Bony fingers connect to tiny hand
Pale as snow
Ugly in every way
Will she ever know

She doesn't belong here
She's the ugliest thing ever
She's what every girl doesn't want to be
Let's beat her down together

*******

I know I am ugly
My mind doesn't allow me to think otherwise
I'm told all the time
Thinking I'm beautiful is a huge lie

I know I am fat
The number on the scale telling me everyday
At school I'm haunted
By the cruel things they say

I know I'm not perfect
I also know that's something I'll never be
I know I'm a disaster
I only wish they could see

Inside I am so beautiful
I could do great things if given the chance
I could open your heart
With my ability to dance

But you will never look
Because of the way I appear on the outside

If you could only see
The way I shine inside

    Nice use of words. But wrong manner of presenting yourself. It's nature that made you the way you are; bear it in mind that you can't redirect the wind. So it better you start admiring yourself. You are unique for all I care!
