I wake up every day
and I put on my clothes
and I paint on my face
I screw in my smile
I plant my feet on the ground
and I force myself to walk around
I grab my books
I walk out the door
I avoid every mirror
All I see is ugly...nothing more
I walk fast to avoid the stares
the eyes they give me
the whispers and dares
I am 5'9 and they say that is a good height
but I hate everything about it
I hate my own sight
My dirty blonde hair and my brown eyes
I cover my face in all my disguise
My straight white teeth and my plump pink lips
I only see decaying in the mirror that does not lie
somehow all these thoughts have come alive
I have always been told
I was a beautiful girl
but I never saw it
I denied the whole world
I feel so ugly
and I do not know why
But as I lay here tonight
in your arms
my tears fall on your chest
My feelings of uglyness are less and less
You run your fingers through my hair
and I gently kiss your lips
Whispering in my ear
"You are so beautiful"
All the right things I acheive
and for the moments with you
I happily beleive
