Ugly

Photo: SriMesh

A girl looks in the mirror
And thinks
I am ugly
She stares at herself
And wonders why she is
The way she is
And why others have
What she doesn't
Unfair
But someone must offer contrast
So we can weigh ourselves
Against others
And place value where it does not naturally exist
Oh, ugly girl
You make others so
Beautiful
That makes you essential
Am I really ugly?
Perhaps
She removes her clothes and hides her face
To become something exotic and desired
