Billy Thekidster Poet I do not know?

Pretty Ugly

I am very ugly
so don't try to convince me that
I am a very beautiful person
because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
and I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
there is beauty inside of me that matters
so rest assured I will remind myself
that I am a worthless, terrible person
and nothing you say will make me believe
I still deserve love
because no matter what
I am not good enough to be loved
and I am in no position to believe that
beauty does exist within me
because whenever I look in a mirror I always think
am I as ugly as people say?

Now read from the bottom up.
