A poem about my loathing of myself. -_-;; Must get over it.

Unlike Me

Methinks that when I sleep tonight
And close my eyes to dream
I'll have visions of perfection
Of someone unlike me

Happiness surrounding her
A face with pure delight
Living what I'll never live
Loved by whom I long to kiss

Fortune and fame await her
In a life made for royalty
No sadness to dwell upon
No blood in need to spill

For though she is happy
One ringing of the bell
Steals her from happiness
And brings me back to reality

A depressing sigh is heard
As I sit up on my bed
I peer at my reflection
At the horrifying truth

My features are plain
Unremarkable, unnoticeable
The delightful face is gone
And the scars have all returned

Yet again, I close my eyes
In hopes that I will find
The life that I long for
And the person unlike me
