Ugly
My laugh is ugly
It sounds like a wheezy howl
Sometimes I think it’s cute
Until I laugh too loud
And everyone stares at me
Quickly silencing my joy
I hate that even my happiness
Is ugly
Along with my face
My body
My teeth
My hair
My clothes
Sometimes I look in the mirror
I think I look alright
Then I take a second look
And realize I am the same
Ugly
Face.
