ogre


I hide what lies beneath me,

For years looked as the ogre of the class,

I was told to express myslef and be who i want to be

Yet in the end I was taken over by the looks of others.

I ended uo wanting to run away into the sea,

so that I ca become free of all the judgment.

I ended up putting up another face to the wrold to cover up the weakness and fear.

It made the worst come from me,

For it only made me feel beautiful when i changed myself.

I knew it was wrong but never was i botherd.

For it changed me from ogre to princess trough my eye.

<p>The world had taught us to look at the ones higher above us and make us become one of them. We laugh at the ones that dont fit in and that are diffrent. Yet we tell everyone to be who they want to be. Today we have to change ourselves and lie to the world about what is presented of us so that we can look somewhat closer to that picture we look upon at.</p>
