PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Deep down, I must want to be ugly

I know, I know...it sounds ludicrous

But if it looks like neglect and it sounds like resentment

Then some of the statement has got to be true

Fifty percent of every joke lies in truth

My dry humor is as harsh as the desert right now

I never drink enough water, don't remember to take my vitamins

Overwash my hair, underlotion my body

Use sugar as a vice and caffeine as an addiction

Don't practice enough pilates, Don't say enough self-love mantras

Deep down, I must want to be ugly

I've given up on a tortured youth, let go of a breezy future

Held on to emotional baggage, held on to trust issues

Keep some baby weight, added stress lines

Forgot about pampering, gave up on shopping highs

Put each of them above myself...why oh, why did I do it?

Why do I still do it?

Deep down, I must want to be ugly.
