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
