They tell me I'm beautiful but I just don't see <br />What's so different and beautiful about me <br />When I look in the mirror I don't see beauty <br />I just see me, living life as a duty <br />My friends all claim there's no way he can't love me <br />'What guy wouldn't want you? ' they say <br />Apparently him, he doesn't want me <br />No matter how hard I try he won't glance my way <br />Still they insist I'm beautiful and he's not worth my time <br />But he's so worth my time he's perfect to me <br />But why would he be in love with me <br />He's just so perfect and I'm so... not <br />He deserves so much better, so why do I try <br />Why do I do this to myself <br />Why do I torture myself with such high hopes <br />I know there's no way he would ever love me <br />But for some reason I just keep holding on.<br /><br />Lacey UnKnown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/holding-on-26/
