A Tale of Beauty
October 29, 2011
I am beautiful
I am kind
I am me
So hard
to say
those simple
phrases
Lodged in
my throat
for time
and time
again
the mirror
it screams
“Ugly,
Fat,
Not
Worth
It"
Laughing at
me
for
the way my toes
curl
my smile
comes across my
face
Everything
I am
is wrong
Everything I
should be
is always
out of reach
