His lips pull into a wretched smile That used to make me follow suit But as it forms around hurtful words I know that, in truth, He was always ugly And I was just entertainment He'd never see me equally And I'd never be able to make him He mocks all I can't change And discourages all that I do And I've not enough self-confidence To counter the words he threw How did I miss how hideous This child of a boy could be? As now, he's set the standard Of my definition of ugly

My Definition Of Ugly
His lips pull into a wretched smile That used to make me follow suit But as it forms around hurtful words I know that, in truth, He was always ugly And I was just entertainment He'd never see me equally And I'd never be able to make him He mocks all I can't change And discourages all that I do And I've not enough self-confidence To counter the words he threw How did I miss how hideous This child of a boy could be? As now, he's set the standard Of my definition of ugly
