Eye of the beholder

July 31, 2012
By Anonymous

You say she's hot
And he says not
Zero likes, must be ugly
Hideous, that word fits snugly
Hurt is what these words do
One big tear, now there's two
A joke it is to you and them
Makes her feel like an em
Small, no tiny is her feelings
About you and her dealings
Her mom and dad can't see her pain
Just like no one sees your gain
An apology won't fix her scars
She already feels less than par
Her friends believe no pain is here
Until her pillow meets her tears
No way out is what she thinks
She believes she is a jinx
Beauty is was she had possessed
Now all she has is bereft
You should have changed
Instead of her feeling estranged
