    Poem Commentary

    yeah, it was late at night when i started to write this so i kinda rambled on a lot, but this is basically about how its pathetic that some people won't give love a chance because others think that the one they love is ugly and so they think that they're wrong

    Looks

    It seriously is pathetic, what this world is coming to

    It's becoming a world where someone's inside doesn't shine through

    It doesn't matter if you're smart, funny, and have a good personality

    If you don't look good, then you're considered "ugly"

    You can love someone, and they can love you too

    But if your looks aren't good, they can't be with you

    From childhood we're taught to always look within

    But how are we supposed to see that if everyone criticizes them?

    So what if they're not up to your standards? They may be perfect for me

    But this "ugliness" may be something that people don't want to see

    What's sad is that this kind of thinking spreads;

    You may not believe it, but it all gets to your head

    It's pathetic that people won't and don't experience love, only lust

    Because they think that being with someone who looks good is a must

    Apparently it's okay to be with someone who treats you bad

    Just so that your love's "ugliness" won't make society mad

    So what if a person isn't "cute, or has glasses, or weird hair?

    Without all their looks, tell me, what's there?

    What do you do when the one you lusted after suddenly doesn't look so good to you?

    Do you go back to the "ugly" one, the one that ACTUALLY loved you?

    You would have learned that everything is more than looks and what you see

    But the one you loved and who has loved you will move on to someone better than you can ever be

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
