darling, you are not ugly
you have trained your own eyes
to see only the bad in yourself
and the good in others

you have never seen
how your eyes light up as you laugh
or how you hug your pillow
tightly while you sleep

you can only see
the way your hair is "too thick"
and how your skin is "too pale"
and that your things are "too big"

if anything,
darling,
you are
too beautiful.
