Scarred

So hard to wake up and look in the mirror

The image I see couldn't be any clearer

I’m not the girl in the magazine

I’m not the girl on the silver screen

 

I’m the one God chose to mark

Burned my face and broke my heart

They all laugh while I die inside

Thousands and thousands of tears I cried

 

No pictures, no videos I beg please

I don’t need a reminder of these

Ugly scars next to beautiful faces

What I would give to just trade places

 

Don’t matter what I got to share with the world

They only love you if you’re a beautiful girl

Why on earth did I survive?

It’s been such a long hard life

 

Time don’t make it easier

Time don’t heal the pain

God don’t care about me

He could have saved me from this shame

 

So why I ask, try harder

Why get out of bed

Why subject the world

To the site of my ugly head

 

I should have died when the flames broke out

I should now be dust

Do we serve a cruel cruel God

Who likes to punish us

 

I see those with beauty and talent

And wonder where my gifts lie

I am ugly and scarred and nothing to give

And wish that I would die

This is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read, amazing work

[Niall Madden]

"i am ugly and scarred and nothing to give" this seems to be quite a dark poem but it seem more of a sustained anger towards everything displacement of blame so to speak but it really conveyed the message across so good job
