Next to them, she's ugly:
Her face is too round,
her hair is too thin.

Next to them, she's just plain:
Her eyes are not shiny,
her laugh not endearing.

Next to them, she's just fat:
Her arms are too thick,
her hips too wide.

Next to them, she's nothing:
She's untalented,
un-smart,
has nothing going for her.

Next to them, she's a failure:
no achievements,
nothing special.

Next to them...well, she's incomparable
to the people surrounding her,
to those she sees everyday.

She fades into the background,
because next to her, there are better people

that soak up all the attention....
next to her.
