the ugly duckling
Throughout elementary school there was never a time when I didn’t feel left out. I was always all by myself, the ugliest troll who needed glasses and braces, and didn’t always dress like the others. Although I was one of the top smartest in my class, no one ever paid any attention to me for that reason. They only paid attention to me when they wanted to humiliate me or belittle me. Only when they wanted to make themselves feel bigger and better than me – when they weren’t.
The skies were always gray with storm clouds over my head, my eyes overflowing with raining tears. I was sure that the ocean was at least a little bigger from my tears. My mind was tangled in self-conscious thoughts, thinking any minute a big round of laughter would result in my blurting out the wrong answer when called upon in class by the teacher. The ground became the most familiar thing to me as I was constantly looking at it, for a fear of looking up to face my doom of ridiculing classmates.
I didn’t understand. But I wanted to – so badly. Why they were fascinated so much by hurting me so deeply. Why my tears, which were undoubtedly caused by them, sparked the brightest smiles upon their faces. Why the teachers and principal didn’t feel they had the need to put a stop to the students’ cruelty. Why? That’s all I wanted to know. Maybe if I were exactly like them – absolutely perfect as they believed themselves to be – they wouldn’t make fun of me.
So I had glasses. And braces. And acne on my forehead. And so I dressed in jeans and sweatshirts or T-shirts – the total style no-no compared to them and according to them. I threw my hair back into a ponytail every day. So what? None of these things gave them any reason to make fun of me. I didn’t understand. I don’t understand. And perhaps I never will.
I was ugly then. But now look at me. I wear contacts instead of glasses – to better show off my pretty blue eyes that I never knew I had. I have clear skin now: soft and the color of ivory, and wear make-up to accent my best features. My braces have been gone for years now – and I have perfectly straight teeth with a beautiful smile. I dress according to my own taste of style. I’m pretty now, according to those around me. If they could only see now what they had ridiculed for so many years. I grew to be the beautiful swan. Once an ugly duckling – and now a beautiful swan.
choose your fate
Climb the walls to touch the sky
Break the rules before you die
Give yourself a little credit
You know damn well you won’t regret it
Drop the past, pick up the pace
Wipe that frown off your face
Dream away, but not too far
Don’t forget who you really are
Take your time, don’t be a fool
Patience is the golden rule
Hide the lies, show off the truth
Do it while you’ve got your youth
Hunt for a life that fits you well
What you’ll find only time can tell
Say "I Love You" before it’s too late
Because only you can choose your fate
