Ugly Girl

Her scars

are horrid,

massive things

stretching along her body.

But

she doesn't hide them.

She doesn't grow bangs

to cover her forehead.

She doesn't wear jeans

to cover her legs.

Instead

she smiles.

And somehow

she

is

beautiful.

My mind tells me that this is

impossible,

but my eyes smile and say

it's not.

This girl

with horrific

ugly

scars

is beautiful.

When she smiles at me,

her whole face

lights up.

Her hair is a brown

in-between color.

Her eyes

are hazel.

She has freckles 

on her face.

She leads me upstairs,

to her bedroom,

a drops my suitcase 

on the floor.

Then

she turns

and smiles

again

and says

I'm so glad you're here;

we're going to have so much fun!

I almost believe her.

But

if a girl covered in scars

is more beautiful

than me,

how can I

not

feel self-conscious?

And how

can I have fun

when I'm upset?
