Yes, I Am Ugly
Yes, I Am Ugly
The bright eyes,
The skin fair,
The fancy earring,
The jet black hair.
The chosen career,
The perfect diet,
The demure nature,
The prescribed talent.
I hear the clatter
The rivalry between
What is
And what can be.
My biggest milestone
Is self-realisation
Self-love.
I don’t have anything
That you expect of me
But,
There is love,
Burning in the lantern of my heart
Acceptance,
p>
Through and through
And a passion
Emanating from the my soul.
That makes ‘me’ me
And ‘you’ you.
After detaching
The external disabilities,
What I find is
Inner ability.
I put the ‘norm’ in normal,
You put ‘judgement’ in judge-mental.
That is why
Our eyes see differently.
I see me with my eyes
You see me with yours
This is why I see beautiful
But for you
Yes, I am ugly.
