Best Poems Written by Beddy Mouks

little flower

I once was a pretty flower
Untainted by the wind
People flocked to see me
As I bloomed in the spring

But now as the spring fades
I can feel it washing away
My beauty and excellence 
My security and grace

I have the same stem
Same name same face
But I no longer attract the sun
Instead a deep stormy gray

Is it something I did
 or wanted to say
Or is it simply my pure youth 
slipping away

Cause now as I walk through the world
 all I feel is envy
Why does she get pure roots
While mine are twisted and muddy

Why is her hair so silky
While mine is a big knot
Is beauty an attribute 
Or something that’s taught?

For I once felt pretty 
As I floated through the world
But now I feel big
Far to much for a girl

Like I’m watching from branch
Rather than being in the moment
Like my heart is to hurt
On the verge of exploding

My cheeks are no longer pink
Instead a sick green
Like my sister and my mother
And her mother before me

I watch as they look in the mirror
And hate what they see
But when I look at them
All I find is beauty

But they don’t believe it when you tell them
Neither do I
So our petals wither
As we scream at the sky

Why am I not like her ?
Where are my blue eyes?
Why does my skin wrinkle
While hers delicately shines?

I can’t love my flaws
That I’m an individual 
So I paint my face
And weep at the vigil 

Of what once was mine
And faded in the night
How can I believe 
That my future is bright 

When the world I  know
Is scared of life
Of growing old
and waving goodbye

I know its awfully twisted
But I believe their burning lies
Let their crooked thoughts
Tarnish my teary eyes

Cause I want to be pretty
So full of grace
But how can I be pretty 
If I hate my own face


So I watch as my thorns grow
And I get meaner each day
Jealousy running through
My ink blue veins 

For I once was a pretty flower
Untainted by the wind
But now I’m an ugly person
And I’m scared of what that brings
