I wanted to share this wonderful poem because it’s so clever and uplifting.  I don’t know who its by, but if anyone out there does know, do please let me know.

 

PRETTY UGLY

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 gong 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?

 

NOW READ FROM THE BOTTOM UP…
