    "The statement pretty hurts is an overstatement, because being ugly kills." Blew me out of the water..

    "None of us discuss how tough it is or how much of a struggle it is to wake up and have blind dates with a mirror that wishes it could see other people"
    This line means everything to me.

    This is gorgeous and so powerful. It's kind of ironic though, because the poet himself is really attractive.

    • @ransom8518
      @ransom8518 7 лет назад +3

      You really need to look up the definition of attractive. Attractive is appealing to more than JUST THE EYES so just don't. Had you said not attractive or unattractive it would have been different.

    Ugly does kill because no matter how much we want to get back, we have an image of ourselves that brings us back down.
