Array ( [sid] => 46908 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => weed [time] => 2004-05-10 13:07:41 [hometext] => written about a friend of mine who doesn't seem to realise how great she is - just cuz she's not popular people tell her she's ugly and no one will ever date her but she is truly beautiful, inside and out [bodytext] => Just as stunning as all the other flowers
This unappreciated beauty
Dug up and tossed away
In to solitude it plunges
Convinced that it has no worth or use
It coils in to loneliness
Never was its glory realised
Until now……..
A child asks 'where's the pretty flower
From the bottom of the garden?'
'that old weed? We got rid of that'
discarded because of a name,
but not forgotten by one pure of heart
beauty runs deeper than judgement
natural as the beating sun
beauty is incorrupt by society,
living to no expectations
thriving to no rules
beauty lives through those who choose to see it
And dies through those who don’t look

that Is so true, people nowadays put others down just to make themselves feel good. Everyone's Beautiful. but there are those who are ugly, and those ugly ones are the people who put your friend down. Don't ever let ANYONE tell you or your friend that you're ugly, cause you're not. =)
