Make-up's off
I'm ugly again
I can't help but think it akin
To the façade I present to those
Unfamiliar with my demons
     They're small,I suppose
     Compared to those feeding off others
     But they exist all the same
     Their destruction continues
     And all I can think to do
     Is wait for it to stop
     And try to look pretty
     Even if I don't feel it

The tears make my ugly worse
Eyes puffed up, red, bigger than their already unnatural size
Nose, also swollen, red
dripping snot
Like the demon lurking drips hostility
And the demons laughing drip sickly sweetness

What's left of my sanity screams apologies
Contritions for crimes I cannot recall committing
Some to myself
I am not the cause
But my reflection is the problem
I have to wonder if bad luck
Is such a price to pay
To destroy a pretty façade
To unveil reality

You may feel ugly, but your words are beautiful.

A *sigh* and a recall... I once heard that in the next world we all look gorgeous and late-20s-something, to which the adolescent would say, "Eeeeyuuuuw! Old!"

Indeed, Beautifull words.
We all make our Self-consciousness become "demons" that haunt us, but I truly believe that there is beauty is every person.

Well except maybe Hitler.
