The girl sits
And stares
Looking at her reflection in the glass
She removes the bangs in front of her eyes
She stares some more
She was original
She was herself
She seen ugly
We seen beauty
Why didn't she see…

This poem was written in inspiration of a girl I know, who is beautiful and brilliant. She just didn't know it, and let others tell her she wasn't.
