Ugly Girl

Ugly Girl 

 

In my bed I silently weep, 

until at last I fall asleep. 

All the time it seems, 

I'm only happy in my dreams. 

Not wanting to I wake up, 

full of disgust I throw up.

At school my classmates point and sneer, 

I hear them whisper, "the ugly duck is here". 

Some approach me from the back,

when we're alone they attack.

They punch and kick and pull my hair, 

one gives me a hard shove down the stair. 

Something's broken, something's wrong, 

I cry out as the school bell gongs.

My teachers lie when they call me a pearl, 

cause no one loves the ugly girl.

I agree with the comment below - you painted a good scene although not a nice one but people need to hear how their bullying hurts! Good message

You painted the whole scene with your magical, poetic brushes; l feel sorry for the ugly girl!!
