Ugly


Beautiful they say is the girl with long hair flawless skin and pretty face. Hey Its okay to runaway from the expectations that society says, to be a certain way.. Beauty is diverse in its ability to portray perfection through imperfections. Subjected to be objectified, sex objects well what's new? If what's wrong over night turned right then society better be rectified.. Mentally jailed but physically bailed, we're only free because we failed, failed to say no to the pressure of our peers covering our insecurities and pain under the foundation on our faces. Just a little more powder and we're flawless for today. Its never that deep but that's to people that never stop to think.. Some of you feel odd, because this masked perfection is something you can't afford.. Keep your shame away because the so called "not good enough" are the lucky ones, Cause they get to be loved for who they are and not who they're not. If beauty depends on what you expect me to be and not what I know me to be then you must be unlucky cause just like them, i'll rather be ugly.

I wrote the poem concerning a lot of factors relating to gender roles and societal pressures on the female gender mostly, its something I'm passionate about. There's still a lot I want to share and I look forward to expressing myself freely on this platform.. Enjoy
