Emotions from within

Have you ever said that you looked ugly?
looking at a monster stare back at you
having to think that you looked fine but you really didn't.

Have you ever felt like you were rejected?
like you never existed
not knowing if anyone really cared
about you
having to stand alone while everything slips pass.

Have you ever thought about life with only one person, you.
just you, nobody else
you wouldn't have to worry so much
about how you looked
about if you were rejected or not
think about it.

have you?
