Ugly
Embracing Imperfection: The Struggle and Beauty Within
Lyrics
I don't look in the mirror
I avoid looking at myself in the mirror.
I don't like what I see staring back at me
I dislike the reflection staring back at me.
Everything is clearer
Things become more evident or apparent.
I'll never see what you see
I will never perceive myself as others do.
It's not me
The image in the mirror does not represent who I am.
So beautiful and free
Others are beautiful and liberated, unlike me.
I'll never be what you need
I can't fulfill your needs or expectations.
Can't help it all
I cannot control it.
I was born so beautiful
I was born with beauty, but it is no longer present.
But now I'm ugly
I now perceive myself as ugly.
And I rot in my skin
I decay internally, experiencing a gradual loss of self.
As a piece of me dies everyday
A part of me is dying each day.
I know I'm nothin'
I acknowledge my insignificance or worthlessness.
I know there's nothing I can say to change
There's nothing I can say to alter the judgment against me.
The judgement in their ways
Their judgments define how they perceive me.
I'll never be what you need
I can't meet your needs or expectations.
Can't help it all
I can't control it.
My life was so beautiful
My life used to be beautiful.
But now I'm ugly
Now, I see myself as ugly.
Yeah
Expression of acceptance or resignation.
I'm good enough but I don't care
I am good enough, but I don't care about it.
I'm good enough but I'm not there
I am good enough, but I haven't reached my goal.
I'm good enough but I don't care
I am good enough, but indifference prevails.
The sign is out but I'm not there
There are signs of acceptance, but I am absent emotionally.
I'm good enough but I don't care
Despite being good enough, I remain indifferent.
The sign is out but I'm not there
There are signs of acceptance, but I am emotionally distant.
I'm good enough..
Repetition of feeling good enough but emotionally distant.
I'm good enough..
-I don't look in the mirror
I avoid looking at myself in the mirror.
I don't like what I see staring back at me
I dislike the reflection staring back at me.
Everything is clearer
Things become more evident or apparent.
I'll never see what you see
I will never perceive myself as others do.
And I rot in my skin
I decay internally, experiencing a gradual loss of self.
And a piece of me dies everyday
A part of me is dying each day.
I know I'm nothin'
I acknowledge my insignificance or worthlessness.
Because I'm ugly..
Because of my self-perceived ugliness.
