maybe I was ugly today

maybe I was ugly today

I wasn't showing enough cleavage

or my shorts were too ratty

my makeup didn't look quite right

or my hair was too messy

maybe I looked too big or too small

or I didn't smile enough

I made too much eye contact

I spoke too much

I forgot that I am merely an object

to stare at and to f**k

to use accordingly

and so I should dress as so

look as so

act as so

maybe I didn't fit the version of myself in your head

the pretty, skinny, short girl

with blonde hair and curves

someone to call for when you please

maybe I was ugly today

Wow!
This is a deeply emotional and angry poem about someone that is feeling hurt ....
Maybe I was ugly today......no!
This speaks so many words about the other person......
You do a great job of taking the reader on a journey......

But no-one should have the right to make another person "feel ugly"...

Thanks for sharing this poem...:)

bloody hell I hope against hope that is not a personal poem but more of an observation.
either way nobody deserves to be treated as an object and any so called man that does it is not a man in my eyes .

No one should feel he or she has to fit someone else's version.
We are our own ugly or pretty...if we look into the mirror and like the person we are, so be it.
