It's A Curse Being Beautiful

Old poem from 2007 by your truly, Lex
Enjoy:

It's a curse being beautiful.
Only the ugly ask why.
They look at me with envy.
I have no reason to lie.

I wish I were them,
wake up and don't care.
Cause no one would bother me
If I don't comb my hair.

My man says I love you
'cause I have a pretty face.
What then would he say
if it looked a disgrace?

People on the street
Stop me just to talk.
Who says I'm in the mood?
I just want to walk!

It drives me crazy
All the attention I get.
They be staring in my face
As if my lips are wet.

Mirror Mirror,
On the wall,
Please tell me I am
The ugliest of them all.

Just for one day,
I'll step in their shoes.
Let them step in mine
I have nothing to lose.

We'll swap places
To see which is best.
Ugly versus beautiful...
Put it to the test.

Would people like me for me
Or what they see?
I bet I know what
The answer would be.

When beauty is so visible,
why would they dig deeper?
Accepting beautiful people
Is so much easier.

Its a curse being beautiful.
