Always so concious am I,
Of how I appear.
Always trying to fix myself up,
I'm constantly in a mirror.

It seems I am pretty,
But for only a moment.
All I really have to hear
Is a few unwanted commments.

My self confidence is at a low.
Now it dosn't take much.
Just a few mean jokes,
That are hurtful and such.

I feel so ugly and unwanted,
As I could possibly feel.
It certainly dosn't help,
When the whispers are so real.

I don't understand,
Why I was born this way.
Why can't I be beautiful?
Would I still have these days?

Would things be different,
If I was easier on the eyes?
Would guys be interested?
It won't happen for me. (sigh)

I want to feel beautiful,
But for some reason I don't.
I want to be happy with myself.,
But for some reason I won't.

Maybe one day
Inside beauty will be seen.
Someone will see it in me,
b/c that's what pretty should mean.

dont care about what others think. you can choose what you want to affect you. dont let low self esteem morons make you feel bad so that they can feel better. so what if you arent pretty? you dont have to worry about staying pretty. you are right, whats inside counts. because all those "pretty" people will become as ugly as they are on the outside. and well they cant have surgeries whenever they want now can they?

nice write, i loved the last stanza the most by far, it brings an awsome closure to your poem by stating your point in such a stunning way that it invokes the reader to contemplate the meaning of such an idea once more or to think about it in the first place

Anyone who can write so well could never be called ugly. I too looked at your profile and if the photo is you, then you are beautiful inside and outside. External beauty is more about confidence than anything else, so get ready to face the world with a brave new face and they too will recognize your beauty.
