Beauty Is In the Eye of the Be Holder

I wish I was beautiful. I want to be part of the in crowd. Just beautiful not superficial. That would make me proud. I want to be part of the in crowd. Being me makes me sad. That would make me proud. I long to be her real bad. Being me makes me sad. I don't know girl in mirror. I long to be her real bad. I want to see her much clearer. I don't know girl in mirror. A stranger is starring back at me. I want to see her much clearer. Ugliness is all that I see. A stranger is staring back at me. Hi I'm lexie, who are you? Uglines is all that I see. Because I have know clue. Hi I'm lexie who, are you? Just beautiful not superficial. Because I have know clue. I wish I was beautiful . 08-28-16 Contest: Best Sad Poem Ever Sponsor: Laura Loo Third Place

Sad and beautiful at the same time. The true sadness is that some really do feel this way when the truth is, they are beautiful and hopefully someday they realize it. Really nice my friend.

Hello Alexis, A marvelous Pantoum very well-rendered. This format is a tricky one to do, but you've done very well indeed with it. I really like your use of the "Eye of the Beholder" theme. Your theme message here is straight-forward and most compelling. A GREAT BIG SEVEN!! Spill Ink!! And keep writing . . . Cheers and Best, Gary
