The Ugly Truth
Double pierced ears weighed down by two pairs of earrings
Hair curled and topped with a colorful headband
Fitted tee and short skirt to match my Converse
A wide smile finishes the outfit
Nice words with laughter behind them color my eyes
A slight pep in my step sends me home
This is where I reveal the ugly truth
My hands tangle within my hair
Naked ears and bumpy face complete my head
This "breathtaking" top barely slips off, unlike the less-than-a-skirt piece of fabric
My swollen feet eventually escape, hot and sweaty
A few slurs and swears fill the air as a large T-shirt easily slips on
Ripped gym shorts that never met the gym complete the outfit
Oh, the headband!
Straight-faced and ready to pass out, I yank off my accessory
I blast some ugly music through my ugly phone
And dance my ugly dance
Just a way to appreciate the ugly truth
