Pretty ugly

You are all special and beautiful people, but sometimes we forget that. Sometimes people, because of their own issues, want us to feel bad about ourselves. Remembering that we are special and wonderful is sometimes difficult and takes a positive view. How does the poem below convey that simply changing your viewpoint makes all the difference? Blog below if you think you have the answer.


I'm very ugly
So don't try to convince me that
I am a very beautiful person
Because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
And I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
There is beauty inside of me that matters
So rest assured I will remind myself
That I am a worthless, terrible person
And nothing you say will make me believe
I still deserve love
Because no matter what
I am not good enough to be loved
And I am in no position to believe that
Beauty does exist within me
Because whenever I look in the mirror
I always think Am I as ugly as people say?
- Abdullah Shoaib

  7. I think that when you look in the mirror you she things that you wish you could change about yourself. and when some people see other people they wish they looked like them but the end of the day you are bountiful in your own way.

  18. It matters what's on the inside not on the outside, if you read the poem back words it will give you that message.
