Ugly(Masked)

in the mornings i would wake up
and see my sister staring in the mirror
embracing her beauty, loving herself more each day
but for myself, i could never feel that way

i have been fat my whole life, until i recently
lost 200 pounds within a year
still i feel the same as before, i still
feel that i am ugly
i may be a lot slimmer, but my confidence has gone
and i stand here alone to the earth
until my time is done

i spent an hour in my room making a mask
to hide my face and the ugliness
i feel in my heart if i take my mask from my face
that i am showing my ugliness to the world
i would not know what to say

i dont feel like a handsome man because
still i am alone, rejected by people
maybe i am ugly because of my almond shaped eyes
because i have japanese blood in me
the mask on my face is a beautiful disguise

to know what it is like to smile but be a beautiful thing
if i could fly far away, then i could be happy and sing
but still, i will be remembered as the ugly man
with wounds on his face and broken glass stuck on his wing

We are all beautiful within
