About This Poem

Ugly

Please forgive my ugliness inside,
I really have nothing to hide.
multitudes of scars and wide open sores,
but who's counting? I ain't keeping scores.
I even get stares from strangers you see,
even if they are all inside of me.
Strangers sense my ugly side,
it's not something I uphold with pride. 
My heart is made of sharp shards of glass,
shattered from lovers from my unfortunate past.
Superglue won't do the trick,
the adhesive for some reason won't magically stick.
The sharp shard keep poking numbing my brain,
I no longer can feel the pain
So don't get the impression you must feel sorry for me,
what happen is now all history.

    Just seeing this one now. All I can say is someone this open is a beautiful person. I dislike secretive people and I admire your open nature!

    Each shard is a crystal which has its own shine/the magic of mirrors, the strength of a spine/ each tiny jewels in facets abides/ stimulating your empathy, holding the tide/So from these shards a mosaic occurs/of a beautiful woman and all will concurr! SMOOCH Light & Love

    yes they are ugly on the inside. they look at you and then decide. they should all hide their prejudice and show a little love. a lot less defences the peace of a dove. then i'll show the smile on my face and the beauty of my love inside. i want to give you something of me. not just run and hide.

    A poem just for you: There are skeletons in us all Some that haunt as they did Paul But, deep in souls of those redeemed Is a heart highly esteemed
