You Are Ugly Too

Talk behind my back,
Discuss my weakness,
Prove them all that
I'm the worst but
I'm still standing.
I don't mind what
You say to them.

Tell them the secrets that
I shared with you being trapped
Within naivety.
But I'm so glad I did.
I destroyed my weakness,
Transformed myself for now,
Became indifferent.

Keep being dishonest
When you talk to them,
Represent your lies that
You prepared.

I know how good it feels.
You know I'm not denying
Because you are ugly too.

Good poem. It's hard when you are judged by others and get talked about when most everything in your life is going the way you desired that it would to your own amazement because you work harder and try harder but the words people say about you you become numb to after a time. I like the word you used in the poem "indifferent" not caring or caring but somewhere in the middle.
