Ugly Ducking

In the pond where I live so many faces in the water. No one in my life wants to live. Swimming under pressure to messed up to try and escape. May days I wonder what's the point, living around people that they take yet never return what I want or need.I try to free myself of those feelings of lust and love between the two demons who are tearing me apart. life in the pond for them goes on I'm the one who's left alone. Ugly is what I've been my whole life not a good enough woman, no one wants me as a wife, I'm nothing more than a night! living in this deep stream of despare I'm learning this ugly duckling is slowly becoming a swan, one to stand and swim away within the pond. It's time to spread my wings leave the nest and move on.
