One Night Stand

i was at a party when 
a guy groped my thigh
but i just brushed it off,
cuz atleast he laid an eye.
Who cares about consent,
when you're as ugly as me
we just take what we get 
cuz noone loves me.

He took me to his room,
we were there for a little.
He told me that I'm pretty,
and i was fulfilled.
The compliments only lasted
however, until he came

He came and he left
 literally 
Snatched away my recently acquired self worth 
instantly

So now I'm still fat and im ugly,
and without any love.
All I really am is
just a one night stand.

This is sad. You are someone's soul mate. But you are not treating yourself as such so how will you ever be found as a jewel when you lay heavy negative talk on your heart? God loves you and when you love you someone else will too. I found this refreshingly honest even if harsh and raw. I hope you will see beauty in you.
