What is Ugly?

A person who wears glasses?
Someone who needs Braces ?

A person that has spots
A girl who’s not covered in makeup?

Someone who has a few extra pounds?
No, ugly is something else entirely

Its dirty looks from people you hardly know
The whispers you hear when you walk through the hall

The hateful words that are spoken
The thoughts you have but never say

Look in the mirror and see your reflection
Makeup will only hide some imperfections

Longing to belong In a world
Where imperfections are not shown

Where people take to heart what you say
so you stop what you have always done

You think and reflect
You believe what people have said

You find the ugly in what they say
You see the ugly in yourself

You try to become invisible
To hide those imperfections

You become a shell of your former shelf
Hide away from the spotlight

Ugly is a word in society that is thrown around
We use it for everything we don’t see as normal

Ugliness is inside us all no matter where you hide
The thoughts we think or the way we act

Ugly is a word that is thrown around
Used for objects, buildings and people alike

But what does it mean, it is only just a word
We should look deeper at the world around us

You may find ugliness in your heart but look past that
And see the inner beauty in what we call ugly
