Un-Beautiful


She was young, skinny and falling in love 

Her clothes fit her right like a taloried glove 

Making her confident with every step she took 

Knowing that when she passed by she would get all the looks 

Her body was like an hourglass 

And that gave her all the sass

Her mind was right and her body was healthy 

To many, that alone would make her wealthy

Then came along her significant other 

Who made her feel like a wonderful lover 

He made her feel happy and their love grew stronger

Until they couldn't take it any longer 

They eloped and were happy 

But little did she know things were about to get sappy, 

Everything was starting to change 

She realized nothing would ever be the same. 

Depression struck her really hard 

The thoughts in her head seemed to bombard 

The anxiety just got worse 

To the point where her thoughts would lead to her in a hearse 

She quit her job to start a new one 

But then soon realized that she was done, 

Done with the public and done with herself 

So she locked up everything up and put it on a shelf 

She's slowly slipping into a doward spiral 

Hoping to lean on her bible 

She no longer takes care of her body 

She no longer feels like a hottie 

The clothes she wears are two sizes bigger 

So no one can see and make fun of her figure 

Her hair is always up and never brushed 

Her feelings have been crushed 

She feels so lost all the time 

Her body feels like grime 

She barely showers because she doesn't care 

She's made her home feel like it's her lair 

She keeps the blinds closed because the darkness is her only friend

But she has hope that this chapter is close to the end 

She wants things to go back as ususal

She wants to stop feeling un-beautiful
