The Ugliest, Most Beautiful Girl

my style is a cover for how ugly i feel
 
any love I give myself I got at a steal
 
from compliments I don't believe
 
of pretty things I can't perceive
 
I've deceived myself about emotions
 
I indulge in others some devour my devotion
 
I'm left with a notion of neglect that I reflect upon
 
I brought it upon myself to defect starting dawn
 
I'm spawned from sensitivity
 
but my activities roar of reason
 
I'm a sored season of all weathers
 
please I tell my mirror I'm not ready for all my capable feathers
 
I fly broken winged
 
I belch out passioned sings
 
still I'm motionless in emotional things
 
I long to bring me to a compromising balance
 
instead of despising my very flaws and talents
 
because I will always just have all that I am
 
I want to love myself once again


-B. Maxine

Perhaps those British boys who call themselves "One Direction" will tell you otherwise. This is a very pervasively descriptive write.

Wow B. What a very deep, and emotional, and powerful poem. I can feel your emotion and anger with every line. To give love to anyone else, you must first give love to yourself. Spoil yourself, and smile! be happy with what you have, for it is a true blessing of uniqueness. You are not a robot, you are a lovely, young and beautiful woman, great poem! I enjoyed it very much... very powerful! :) xoxo
