Pudgy

I poke my pudgy belly

As I stare at the mirror.

People tell me that I'm skinny

Yet I cannot see it

Maybe I'm blind too

And that's another thing to add

To my already never ending list of faults.

From my chubby belly

To my bulging eyes.

From the farmers tan

To my fat thighs.

How can anyone love

A creature as terribly ugly as I?

People tell me beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

Yet, how can one find love if no one will spare me a
glance.

I'm getting rather out of hand

My pudgy belly seems to expand

With every breath I take

Maybe air should be on the list of things that I shouldn't

eat.

Along with breakfast, dinner and everything in-between.

I'm a lost case without a cause.

And that's why everyone turns their back on me without a

pause.

Rewinding it back

On the matter in mind.

It's quite simple

Yet not at all divine.

I simply despise myself,

Is it hard to imagine?

No

Because I'm such an ugly creature

That even I hate my own face, my own haven.
