Ugly

Underneath the ten pounds of make-up

and the personality you fake to please everyone,

the face they deem

Gorgeous is layered with faux smiles

and tear tracks

Like runaway trains that seem impossible to stop.

Years of pain and anguish;

actions driven by anger;

nights ended with soaked pillows;

thoughts clouded with judgment

for she will always believe she is

UGLY
