Pretty Ugly

Ugly

I am

You will never hear me say that

I'm good enough

Because I know by heart

The number on the scale that defines my worth

But never will it be

my inner beauty

I know for certain

Being thin will make me happy

I am sick of hearing those non-sense

'You need some curves'

Don’t try to convince me

Appearance doesn’t matter

I know one thing in my life

Skinny is beauty but

It is futile to think that this will ever come true

I hate myself in every single way

And I won't lie to myself by saying

I can be pretty

Because no matter what people say

I know this is the way

Empty stomach but butterflies

Busy mind just full of lies

No longer will it be

There the smile on my face

Forever will it last

To end the dismay

Too late

Never

Can I

Reverse my life
