I don't think it's very good, but what the heck. Please read, and I have some other poems that are better than this, if you are interested... [bodytext] => "You're beautiful on the inside."
That's what all the pretty girls
Say to make the ugly ones feel better
It makes me want to hurl

Because no one bothers to look inside
All they see is my ugly face
Blemishes, a nose too big, hair not right
Nothing to show my inner grace

First impressions are very important
But mine are always screwed
People never see look beyond my looks
Their opinions, right off, are skewed

My body is thin, but it's thin all over
How will I survive high school?
Even though I wear cool clothes and talk the talk
I'm not pretty, so I'm labeled "Not Cool"

The emphasizing of teens today
Is unfair for those of us who don't fit
Into their category of physical beauty
Cuz if we aren't in, then we're "Misfits"

Sure, I'm the brightest kid in my class
I'm funny, kind, and witty
But none of this matters in the least bit
Because I'm not pretty. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 61 [informant] => NightOwl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

You shoudnt underestimate your talent, I thought this was a very good poem, full of truth and honesty. And though I dont know what you look like, Im sure you're very beautiful regardless of what you or what other people think. So keep your head high and keep writing!

A very sincere write here, and as an introduction to you and your works, was very impressive. This was spoken with a level of sincerity that helped to convey your emotions to the reader that much easier, and I can only hope high skool will be the roller coaster ride for you that it continues to be for me. Sure, it may have ups and downs, but who doesnt like a good roller coaster ride??? :P But anyways, great write here, keep this kind of stuff coming.

Well its a interesting write however pretty faces dont alway yield ideal people. Beauty comes from within. Even the most disfigured person and there are many, are labled ugly. They are the caring and the kindess souls .
You sound like you are still a youngin ,give it time, you will bloom into to a flower you were meant to be . Teenage hood is all part of what your future self will be. Stay strong -you dont need to be any more then what is important to you.

Who cares if your not pretty? If you have a good personality then people will like you. And the people who don't are shallow and retarded and you dont want to be friends with them anyway. "Cool" what a word... have you noticed that all the "cool" people are *****?? Dont worry about it. Dont change yourself to fit in... be yourself!!

Beauty is only skin deep it is the character of a person that counts not how well formed the face was, is. Keep smiling from bernard.
