    My Endless Well

     Ugliness
        a.k.a.                    
    My Endless Well
        By: Eduardo Acevedo Jr.

    My ugliness extends towards the brim of my soul
    I look like a beast when I stare at my reflection
    Should I have been an insect on it’s belly having to crawl
    Or do I deserve to be this being
    One tortured by it’s feelings of depression

    I have tried to love myself
    Pointed out things I have to offer
    But it seems to me that it’s just a sham
    And I should call death to my door
    As such I might be freed of pain so deep
    Yet my religion tells me this is wrong
    So I just stay awake till dawn and cry myself to sleep

    I can say I held no beauty and that I feel to know it’s touch
    Thinking back I’ve had no beauty of my own given for me to keep
    Sadly left in depression wishing for a taste of love
    These problems, these afflictions, these feelings, and these thoughts
    They are here to keep me distant from a life to call my own
    I lay upon my dwellings and figure so with every thought
    Inside I’m being tortured while the façade of happiness is shown
    Tears that make me tired to cry are the companions on my lonely nights
    And on my days they hold the key to my heart so I know they’ll always pass by
    I don’t fill rivers as I used to, now I have formed my seven seas
    In a world of sadness where love is the day we never see
    Eclipses are my routine in the world that I know well
    Watering all forms of life with the tears from my endless well

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
