Freak

by мσяιтυяαм   May 15, 2006


I have a metal brace on my teeth
I'm a beast on the surface
But a beauty beneath
I know what it feels like
To cry myself to sleep
Why can't you see that this ugliness
Is only skin deep?
It's comforting to know
That in god's eyes we are all the same
Why do you do this to me?
Do you feel no shame?
Do you know how it feels
To have people laughing at you?
It hurts people- it hurts me,
If only you knew
Every morning I wake up
With an acne filled face
And feel like
I am an absolute disgrace
I look in the mirror
And hate what I see
But there is nothing I can do,
Because this is me

    The words flow so perfectly and the sorrow expressed in this poem is amazing... Naturally people judge others before they get to know them inside but that doesn't give them an excuse to diss people.. Anyway, great poem!

    Good topic. people can definitely relate to this kinda thing. i think the most important part is where u put ' this is me', i know people always say this but its true, you should always be yourself. and thats when you find the genuine friends. good work, stay strong:)

    Well, if you do feel like a freak... don\\\'t worry 89% of your High school does as well.....

    You\\\'ll become a beautiful butterfly as you start college... there will be a pluthera of guys chasing you around... trust me... I\\\'ve been there....PLUS I don\\\'t think you are a freak.... I think you are a talented young woman, who is beautiful... beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and if some dumb a hole can\\\'t see it... because they think you should look like someone off of a magazine, Obviously they are mentally challenged!

    Keep your head up, because it\\\'s true God doesn\\\'t see what people looks like... cause from up there we all look like a bunch of black, blonde, brown, highlighted, red, orange... dots...
    NOW... he may not be able to recognize you from there if you dye your hair once a week.... (j/k hehehehe)

    If this poem is true, you must understand that it doesnt matter what you look like, you can be the hottest person on the earth, and someone somewhere will think you're the worst looking person. And as bad as you feel about yourself, you should know that someone out there knows you're a beautiful person. Don't be so hard on yourself. Looks are not worth it.

    This was a very heartfelt poem. I enjoyed reading it.
