Ugly

My laugh is ugly

It sounds like a wheezy howl

Sometimes I think it’s cute

Until I laugh too loud

And everyone stares at me

Quickly silencing my joy

I hate that even my happiness

Is ugly

Along with my face

My body

My teeth

My hair

My clothes

Sometimes I look in the mirror

I think I look alright

Then I take a second look

And realize I am the same

Ugly

Face.
