The Definition of Disgrace

This is me,
Take it or leave it.
Can't you see
That I know I'm not perfect?
My hair is dry,
My makeup's smeared.
"Can you tell I just cried?"
It's like my tears
Are tattooed to my face,
I'm a disgrace...
Yeah, I know that I'm not perfect.
But don't worry about me
Because I know that I'm not worth it.
I'm just a person...
Without a name;
Could this get worse?
This feels like a game,
and I'm gonna lose it.
People try to make things better.
But I guess that they can't see that
My frown is my umbrella;
Without it I'd get wetter,
But I know that it can't rain forever.
So this is me, just a little taste,
A day in the life of the
-Definition- of disgrace.

    I like the idea of helplessness and loss of self in this. Your diction could have been a little better but I like the tone and mood of the piece. Well done. Good job and good luck! ~Des

    Wow. This tore a whole in my chest..
    Cause I have felt like this most of
    my life, like I was just never good enough.
    And this truly touched me personally,
    as I was reading, I felt I found those
    words within my heart.

    This was so deeply heartfelt
    and beautiful.

    Definately hit home, and definately
    worthy of winning something...

    finalist for sure.

    Thanks for entering & best of luck

    This is very heartfelt. I can tell you've put a lot of emotion into this write.

    "But I guess that they can't see that
    My frown is my umbrella,
    and without it I'd get wetter,
    But I know that it can't rain forever.
    So this is me [just a little taste]
    A day in the life of the
    -Definition- of disgrace."

    Such a powerful ending. "But I know that it can't rain forever". That reminds me of the crow when he says, "It can't rain all the time". Beautifully written, although it is sad. You're not a disgrace. Thank you for entering.
