Ugly

Missing image

I am ugly,
Inside and out.

And it breaks my heart:
Crushes it into tiny little pieces
and stomps on it with childish satisfaction-

It breaks my heart
that dirt will never be holy water,

And ugly
will never be beautiful.


Author notes

Cracked reflections and shards of dignity-
I tread carefully
so as to avoid cutting the soles of these tired feet.

I long to be a caterpillar
crawling through nature until
I can fly away from here-
Beat my wings against gravity himself
and perch, beautiful and proud
on buds of promise.

    Great write

    Sweety Ugly beautiful They are all just words.
    Everyone is beautiful in there own way. I learned that one from a comment you left me lonng time ago.
    Yet I hope this wasn't a personal poem Cuz there is no way you are ugly. Your beautiful outside and your personality AND kindness make you a Goddess inside. Just keep writing but Make them happy poems that give your smile some justice
    Huggs

    This was a little dark and I am not quite sure if you were referring to yourself, but if you were then I just want to tell you that you are a very beautiful girl, and you obviously have major talent, keep you head up and know your worth!

    You are NOT ugly. Get that thought out of your head now! You are beautiful. This was a great poem but the person who wrote it is a liar. Yeah that means you! You are not ugly damnit! But its ok that you lied this once. I still love ya babe. Great job.
