I am ugly

by David   Feb 3, 2007


To silent me,

I start living as a baby
So soft, so warm, so cute
As I slowly grow, I start to see
The small ugly me

I start thinking I am ugly
And thinking your better than me
I now dont look at myself
The pain too much to bear

I start saying I am ugly
And saying your somehow better than me
I toss and turn at night
Cause for once I am right

I start hearing I am ugly
And hear your better than me
All this, the voices in my ears
Comes from my school peers

I start realizing I am ugly
And realize your better than me
Now its quite clear
As they stay away, in fear

I start convincing myself, I am ugly
Am convinced your better than me
Am just a hopeless case

I start knowing I am ugly
And knowing your better than me
The past, an image
I was just the ugly me, kidding myself

I am not a clown
But you played me as the joke
And now, I feel always down.

    You should never think thoughts about yourself like that i mean i feel like a hypocrit for saying that but this is such a good poem and without even knowing what you look like I can tell your beautiful !_!
