Ugly

by Nicole M. - Gemini

One, two, three more steps
And I'm in the bathroom.
One, two, three tears
Towards my doom.
In the mirror
I'm looking at my ugliness
Not just my lack of definition
In my cheeks
But in my soul...
I'm ugly through and through.
A tube of lipstick
It makes everything pretty...
Around my lips
And outside...
But it doesn't work
It doesn't cover up my ugliness...
Harder I push, and thicker it goes on
But my ugliness still shines beyond
The blood redness...
What kind of freak
Can't lipstick even make pretty.
I throw the lipstick to my reflection
Maybe she can make it work
But it just smashes her into a thousand
Tiny ugly pieces...
and I am left with the tears
That swirl with my doom.
