Ugly

She looks at herself in the mirror.
She doesn't like what she sees.
So she picks up that knife of hers
And starts cutting as she please.
A gash made here... a gash made there
And blood begins to pour.
She looks again with trembling hands
A sight so gruesome & gore.
The pain which was unbearable
Had made her scream
But no one could hear her
As if it was all in a dream.
Soon numbness took over
& she couldn't begin to feel
Her heart was pounding in her chest.
Her head began to reel.
Time was slipping away
Her eyes began to close
Oh dear! She didn't want to die!
Blood had soaked all her clothes.
She was desperate to live now
To go back in the past.
She knew it was too late now
It was time to breathe her last.
She died thinking she wasn't beautiful.
But did she know where beauty lies?!
It's the grace and virtue within us
It's the sparkle in the eyes
It lies within our core
Oh silly little creature
all this pain you had to bore.
Why did you do this to yourself?
Let the world decide your fate
You should have looked beyond what they saw
You should have looked beyond your weight.
Why did you let them break you?
Why did you not stay strong?
Oh Love, you were so beautiful
There was nothing so terribly wrong.
