Just saw this and thought I'd share: I'm very ugly  So don't try to convince me that  I am a very beautiful person  Because at the end of the day  I hate myself in every single way  And I'm not going to lie to myself by saying  There is beauty inside of me that matters  So rest assured I will remind myself  That I am a worthless, terrible person  And nothing you say will make me believe  I still deserve love  Because no matter what  I am not good enough to be loved  And I am in no position to believe that  Beauty does exist within me  Because whenever I look in the mirror I always think  Am I as ugly as people say?  (now read bottom up).
