Ugly Girls

Ugly Girls

A Poem by Lonely Islander
"

Don't judge them by their looks.

"
It's easy to write a poem about a beautiful girl
You get to describe her beautiful features
The things about her that make you melt and dissolve
Into an abyss of eternal happiness and beauty
The oh so fiery features that make your skin tingle
Her long thick hair that blows in the breeze
The breeze carries her scent
And you drift into a different world taking it in
The only thing you miss out in the long pages of poetry you write
Is her heart.

When it comes to a girl who is labelled as 'ugly' due to her unattractive features
It takes hours for you to write a single line
Sometimes you take your eyes off 
How long can you at someone so unattractive?
But just take a look into her eyes
The eyes that say it all
That twinkles like the stars in the night sky
That speak of the hidden pain that people like you have caused
Through her eyes, take a look at her heart
The heart that beats so loud but still you can't hear it
The heart that yearns to be loved
The heart that yearns for a little attention 
Trust me, once you take a look at that little bag of feelings
You will run out of pages to write
So once in a while, look at an 'ugly' girl in a crowd
She's the one that glows amidst them all.

Wonderful illustration of an age-old dichotomy. It's true that both sides of the appearance spectrum have their downsides. I'm so glad you wrote and posted this.

It's sad that many people only see beauty on the outside. This poem brings that knowledge to the mind of the reader as they are reading. Good work :)

I don't think anyone is ugly, unless s/he acts that way.

It's saying to look at substance rather than style and I like that. I see way too many girls thinking style is the one thing guys are after and I hate to see the "ugly" girls think they have to do the same thing. Very nice. :)

You're welcome :D
I like the theme "Look at the heart and not at the shell". Because, really, once you strip away the hair, the pretty eyes, and that, what are you? I think that's what people should ask themselves.

Thanks reaper:-):-):-D.
Sometimes pretty girls use their looks to garner special treatment or get their way. It may be that many of the less-than-pretty ones know they have to be more congenial and less picky. For what it's worth, my first wife was pretty but shallow and very unfaithful. The one I have now is not pretty, and we've been married for 31 years.

Thank you dear friend:-):-):-D.
Wow, this is great. You took this idea of the beauty within and you gave it an honest voice, which i think is very hard to do. Most time when you hear, "I'm beautiful inside." you think is cheesy, but you found a way to honestly show that. good job.
