"Life is like a stage. And it is our job to put on the best show possible before the curtain closes"


When I walk through the doors I see
All these people turned away from me.
No one looks.
No one cares.
It's the pretty girls getting all the stares.
I'm the ugly one
No one cares about me.
I hate myself. Why can't I be
Pretty like the others
The ones who get attention
The ones boys like and always mention?
I wish I was, but I'm not
I will never be in the spot
Of those other girls
Because I'm ugly.

I wanted to write two pieces, one that was from the point of view of a girl with very low self-esteem and not many friends; and one that was from the point of view of a very popular girl who did not want to be popular. I hope you liked it(:
