I'm Not Ugly, I'm Me

Just a song I created while recording into the mirror. I sang whatever came to me - as I also did with my two other lyrics here "Where Am I?" and "Life Has Not Been Kind To Me." This song however is not supposed to be from a musical as the other two.

 

Love I am begging you,

Begging you to come to me.

Love I am begging you,

Begging you to heal me.

Please grant me a lover

That’ll love me for who and what I am

I don’t understand

Why it’s so difficult.

I’m not ugly, I’m me

I’m not ugly, I’m me

And I need somebody to care for me

Oh love

Oh love

Nice poem! I like the words spoken in clear contour to the readers. But if you ask me this could have been said without the word, 'ugly'. I know this you had used keeping something in mind, but still you can express your call some other way. Sorry, to give you this advice. But I like the whole poem, a clear manifesto of truth in verse. It is soft and lovely. So the word is somewhat heavy in it, I think.

Thank you.

Raja.

Such strength and power in your words. It is like a pray for love. Your powerful lines made this a excellent poem.

This is a beautiful piece. Nicely done...

I think you have done a lovely job with your English. I do not see any errors in the text. To write in another language must be daunting, I take my hat off to your for your efforts.

A little short, but wonderfully done.

[Ankhesen Mié]

I have to agree with Wildecat. Poems like this make you wonder why we focus on something so transient and fragile as physical appearance.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. and it's what's on the inside that counts the most.
