I was compelled to write the poem below, after reading Kynder's "Deceptive Beauty".  Thank you Kynder!    I went straight off-line and wrote this - I haven't edited it... so your thoughts would be appreciated  


I'm talking to you
   but you don't look at me
You hop up and down, don't look
   me in the eye, beauty, I'm a she.

Frustration, I feel, desperation
   because of beauty, of my face
Because of beauty, I'm meant to be
   a brick short, wish I was in another place.

Friendship is good, my friend, until
   you thought I was your competition
Please, it's not, I swear, beauty
   is nothing, here is my petition.

To be normal, plain, it is
   such a deep longing
Men, women and friends, all I'm
   wanting is to be belongin'.

The other side of the coin, so well put! And so unfortunte that we always want to be what we're not! Comments:
Friendship is good, my friend, until
you thought I was your competition
I would change the 'is' to 'was' there
