This poem isn't perfect but it was something I was feeling one night last year.


I take a look in the mirror, I don’t like much what I see
who is this person reflecting back? certinley dosen’t look like me

Some people stop and stare, for what? is something wrong with my hair?
I admit though I don’t always feel this way as I have my days and other times I don’t even care.

Short and very chubby I will never look as good as some
it’s a wonder though because even I still feel shunned.

I wish I could take a step back and see what other’s see in me
Tall, thin and beautiful just wasn’t on the list of features that were meant to be for me.

They say that beauty is only skin deep but for me it’s hard to believe
for if I was some kind of beauty I wouldn’t be sitting here today and wondering what it is that other’s see within me.

Love this poem, Alicia!! In a way it makes me feel sad I am sure that many of us have felt that way at one point or another.

sorry if it was cheesy, other poems I wrote I'm too shy to share so I thought I'd post a couple of these original one's for starters.

That's a great poem -- I feel that way sometimes too    Sometimes I feel like life's not fair -- but to me, you're beautiful inside and out.  And I don't think your poem is cheesey at all!
