Oh, won't you please tell me
just what did I do,
that makes me seem
so ugly to you?

Was it my truth?
Was it my light?
Would you rather
hide from my sight?

How much hurt
can I take,
before this heart
finally breaks?

Oh, how I wish
you would tell me the truth...
what is it that makes me
so ugly to you.....

I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

I'm a survivor....

Nothing ugly about this or the spirit that composed it.

this is my first post here, and as i was considering how to verbalize my thoughts i noticed your words "tell me why it would work better another way..."  something so straight from the soul can work no better way.  beautifully truthful.

Donna, I repeat everything the others have said. Some one with a heart and spirit like yours is not ugly in any way at all, my friend.

Pain and self-recrimination pour off the page...although something in me says the fault lies somewhere else..

believe in what your heart feels...

Donna - I would say it is the ugliness inside of the one who has hurt you which lashes out and leaves you so unnerved. I hope all is well with you my friend. Chris

In such hurt you create so much beauty. I can feel the emotions of the words.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Donna, my heart goes out to you, sweet friend, the truth must always be told but I can understand how heartbreaking it can be to have to accept it! (sad sigh) You may have no choice but to take the tears in order to grow strong again later on, I send angel hugs of courage out to you, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks about you Donna...it's what you think of yourself...and from what you have written, I know you believe you are beautiful, and so do I!

so there!  ...and you can tell the person this poem was written for to just kiss yer...

Surprisingly, it's the 'not knowing',
the enormous ache of the unanswered questions,
that hurt most~

Sometimes it is not that we are ugly to others eyes at all, but that they feel shame or inadequate for some reason in front of us... and other times...it is the ugly in them they can't face. Either way..while we all do ugly things from time to time...You are not ugly...

You Break It


I've tried so hard to tell you but its fallen on deaf ears...
how hard you've been on my heart.
If that's the way you wanna play I cant compete ...
You've given me the bitter now I want the sweet.

You know everything you do ... comes back on you ...
everything you do ... comes back on you

If you can hear me ... consider this a warning ...
something your mama left out.
When its concerning matters of the heart ...
you better play fair right from the start.

cuz, everything you do ... comes back on you ...
everything you do ... comes back on you

If you break it..you pay for it ...
You break my heart ... you pay for it.

Maybe you would choose not to believe it ...
Maybe you'll just hide your eyes ...
But the truth has a strange way of revealing,
and my heart wont pay the price ...


everything you do ... comes back on you ...
everything you do ... comes back on you

If you break it..you pay for it ...
You break my heart ... you pay for it.

Yes, truth sees thru all disguise ...
and my heart will not be the price.
