Ugly now, beautiful later...

Never judge a book by its cover,
That is what intellects say.

So many people disobey this law,
Each and every day.

When I look into the mirror,
This is what I see,
An ugly little duckling, not you, but me.

It doesn't matter what you look like,
What's on the inside is what counts.

I give love, but I do not recieve,
I need a magic trick up my sleeve.

But someday, I might turn into that swan,
And fly away into my soulmates loving arms.
