They tell me that I'm beautiful
But I dont believe them-
If that's true, then why don't boys stay with me?
I see them smile at my "pretty" face
but never are they interested
in my beating heart,
and this scorches my bleeding veins.
If I'm really so beautiful,inside and out,
Why is it that they pull away
As soon as I feel close to them?
Don't they see the pain behind my "pretty" eyes
when I reach for their hand and they just brush me off?
All I'm really asking for
is someone to love, or someone to just call mine.
I'm not asking for the world, or even anything big,
I just want someone there,who'd stay by my side.
That would make me feel so beautiful-
if they would just kiss me and mean it,
and not see me as a rebound or an empty fling
or even just a "pretty" face.
Maybe there's just something wrong with me,
Maybe im meant to be rejected and replaced.
Perhaps if i were beautiful
the boys would want to stay.

wow. i've thought all of these same thoughts time and time again, you don't even know.
well about the poem- i thought it was absolutely wonderful. i loved reading it. =)
i related one hundred percent to it and know exactly where you're coming from.
GREAT JOB!! =)
and even though this may seem really cliche & like you've heard it all before... you really do have to love yourself and think of yourself in a positive way for other people to want to do it too. even if it's just small steps at first like telling yourself you're pretty or beautiful.
thanks so much for entering my contest!! =D
best of luck! -

Perhaps if I were beautiful

You know what? Most of the most beautiful people in the world are lonely because people think your too beautiful for them, so they don't ask you out, or are afraid someone might steal you away so they don't bother asking. Your beautiful inside and out, an
I think this was a beautiful write, keep up the good write's, Yessa!!! PL

Gah!
Beautiful write!

Hmmm, in all the crap Ive read tonight, this one was interesting. Thought provoking. Very stream-of-conscious. I like that. Its the way poetry is supposed to be. Not all this stereotypical shit. Its supposed to be honest. And this is an honest piece.

I enjoyed reading this because I know that thoughts like this go through all women's heads at least once when a relationship goes wrong. I can relate to lines 13-18. I think deep down thats what everyone desires, but sometimes they are afraid to take the risk.

Sweetie, I am sure you are beautiful. The problem is you don't believe it. Love will find you once you love yourself. You can't judge yourself based on things that have happened and what other people think. You really need to believe in YOU!
-
This was such an emotion poem. I really enjoyed it to the very last line. Sometimes I wonder the same thing, but I finally found someone who loves me and didn't pull away. Very nicely written great flow. I really enjoyed this and thank you for commenting on one of my poems. I hope to read more from you. Keep on writting since you are deffinitly an excellent writer!!

its a shame that your relationship has ended but that doesn´t mean that theres anything wrong with you or that you won´t find anyone else, it will all work out in time, for now just focus on tommorrow and recovering from the breakup. keep looking forward.
you expressed your emotions very well.
-
This is amazing. It is awful that you went through a breakup but you expressed you pain extremely well in this write!
-
There is a time and place
in the sun for everyone. Just work on your self growth and become what you want to be. When that happens the right man will come into your life. I wish you well on this site. Keep writing and keep expressing your pain, that is the start of the healing process.
-
amazing write that hit me straight in the heart. Know that you are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with you. Remember that you are beautiful inside as well as out and you don't need a boy to show you that. You'll find true love, maybe not today or tomorrow, but remember that perfection takes time...it'll be worth the wait.
peace, love, & cheese -
I wouldn't go rushing into new relationships while you're still healing from a broken one.
really, it doesn't help much. but don't worry darling, you can get through this. not all pain lasts forever.
nice poem.
-
