Ugly Duckling

My therapist once told me to find an outlet Be open and unbottle all of my insanity inside of me Plague with such abnormality but I know I’m truly Beautiful. Even though part of me know I wasn’t My soul is half saint and half disgusting I remember when Asians and Viets would tease me Point and laugh at me all cause I look different with acne So I hid myself from the world, a recluse I became Not feeling the same, feeling in shame with a side of being enflame At the thought that I’m hideous and not like them Condemned and banish myself from the light While I was away, I thought how I wanted acceptance From others, my presence in patience I lay To this day I will always rise above in a distance And better myself and become superior than them My conscience is clearer than ever "Oh he’s a loner, a stoner, label L for loser" Never once was I given a chance in advance Or even look my way just for a quick glance Lower than low my self esteem grew No matter what, I will always be 10 steps further than you
