As the gentle rays of the Sun falls upon me

I feel pretty

All  until I see this picture

That made me feel inferior, so ugly.

She looks so picture perfect

With her pretty eyes and curves

And all at once she made me feel

That I'm the ugliest one on Earth.

Her hair is smooth, so natural, a distinct brown

While my hair looks like a bird's nest, something like a clown

Her eyes the colour of hazelnuts, outshines so easily

My murky coloured orbs, and my skin,so freckly.

She's confident, the way she walks

And the words, the tone so sugary sweet when she talks

Her smile so dazzling, putting people into a spell

Her character so outgoing, 'so lovely' anyone can tell.

But then a dear friend told me

"You have underestimated your value."

And then did it really get to me

That without the ordinary, the jacks

There wouldn't be the extraordinary, the masters.
