Ugly.
That word stung.
Someone is judged by the skin hugging their bones? You don't like them because of their reflection?
Ugly.
Who knew words could emit pain from the depths of your chest.
People these days need to see how you are on the outside. No one has time anymore to get to know a person unless it's behind a screen and when you see that person in real life, it could change your whole view on them.
Ugly.
You call yourself that word almost everyday yet that mind of yours wonders, why do you care?
Your mind is this goddamn universe creating itself, expanding everyday and you're just going to look in the mirror and criticize the scars on your face? Calling them a disgrace?
Your skin is piece of artwork, a wrapping paper, that covers up the real prize, that mind.
Ugly.
Remember, next time someone calls you that, just know that they're missing out.
Some people couldn't spot beauty if it slapped them in the goddamn face.
