Ugly Girl,
with the tears coming down,
and the invasive sorrow
upon your lips arched in a frown,
do you ever wish to walk
walk with your head held high?
Ugly Girl,
why don't you try?
Try to walk with confidence,
perhaps with that attitude
you will gain your prince!
Ugly Girl,
cease crying please,
for your reflection is not the same
as everyone else sees.
We see a beauty
with a heart of gold...
but a beauty so unsure of herself
that she fears being bold.
Ugly Girl,
why walk
with you head held in shame?
Do you honestly believe,
you are much to ugly for your name?
Ugly Girl,
try to remember one thing for me,
that you are a secret
everyday beauty.
