ugly
i'm sorry
i'm not like
the other girls
i'm sorry
i don't hold
that potential in me
to show you what's really inside
i'm sorry all i do
is cry
and cry
when things don't get better
i'm sorry
for all the words
you need to say
just to comfort me
i'm sorry
i'm not strong enough
to hold my head
up high
i'm sorry
i stand
with my shoulders drooped
chin hung low
teeth hidden behind lips
i'm sorry
for always apologising
when i know
it's really annoying of me
i'm sorry
the insecurities of me
flow out like a stream of river
from my eyes
ruining my makeup
and everything else
i'm sorry
i seem
to ruin your party
because of my face
—i'm sorry i'm ugly and no, please don't tell me otherwise.
