The Thoughts, Feelings, The Life Of Sweetness
Ugly
Why can't I be self-confident?
I always put myself down,
I do have a great personality
I'm a queen without a crown.
Though sometimes I may look radiant
on the outside I smile but inside I frown.
I wear make up to escape reality
but I feel like a clown.
I've always been overweight
It all started when I was young.
When I'd get depressed I ate,
of course all the kids poked fun.
I dropped out of school
I didn't believe in myself.
I fell for men who were tools,
And I didn't take care of my health.
And though it's been years
I still feel like that little girl,
I still have so many fears
I'm still so insecure.
Maybe someday I'll accept myself
I should try harder and not be afraid.
I need to not care about what others think.
Why should I care if they're judging me?
If I want my life to change
I need to stop living in a cage.
I don't believe I'm beautiful
no matter how many times I hear it.
I wonder what my future holds....
Is there a man who will accept
and fall in love with someone like me...
who looks in the mirror and sees herself ugly?
