You may be turned off
by my wide eyes and nose
but I'll let you know
the next man
is adoring me

for every feature of mine
you hate
someone else
is loving them

I flashback
to everytime
you called me ugly
your heart is cold
your attitude is hideous

I may not
agree with your preferences
or live up to your expectations
but that's just fine with me
because so many others
are happy with what
I have to offer

Unfortunately looks seem to be the be and end all for some shallow people, but your heart is more precious than anything.  May you find happiness with someone who loves you for who you really are, not just for what you look like.  Take care......Sue

Trina, those who put people down...have a lot to live up to and in this way, acknowledge that they are not succeeding...

You are wise to put this person behind you, and get on...

well done!

Good for you!  Never judge yourself by others' judgement of you, for it's all "judgement" rather than acceptance, tolerance, and Love...  A person tends to take on the characteristics of his/her environment, so unless one wants that to happen, one can either try to change the environment (not easy, to be sure) or one can move away from that environment (unless one wants to keep swimming up-stream in that environment and try not letting it get to them, of course...)  A good statement here, Trina.

So true that sometimes we waste our time with those that don't appreciate us and miss out with those that will...James

Thank you all for reading , I really hope I don't make the mistake of missing out on someone who really cares for me for who I am and is not interested in trying to change me or put me down to make me change myself. Thank you all again for reading.

Take care,

Trina
