Ugly, Ugly Me
I just want someone to think I'm pretty ...
To take a moment to look at me and be mystified
For their breath to still, caught in their throat
They are drawn to me ...
Something I possess
They approach me with a simple "hello"
But it is so much more
It is I want you ...
It is I adore you ...
This look in your eyes I will never see
Because I am immature and foolish
Because I am not the shape of an hourglass
Because my skin is two shades darker than mocha
Because I view myself as ugly
And that's what you see ...
Ugly, ugly me ....
