Ugly


"You're so perfect, I want to be just like you"

Is that what you want me to say

When you call me ugly, disgusting garbage?

Even though you get your hair professionally styled every week

And have someone to do your makeup everyday,

You're still ugly,

It's not the kind of ugly you can fix with makeup.

Your inner beauty is nonexistant,

And I know you just wish you could apply makeup to fix that, 

But you can't

You will always be

Ugly.
