I am nothing beauitful, 1
My hair is shagged and my eyes are painted.2
I am a figure, who's limbs and center are less than slim, 3
Graceless4
Bold.5
I tread with no rhythm, from hall to hall and down damp pavement walks. 6
I am no Helena, I bear no resemblance to Aphrodite.7
And yet, your eyes take light when falling upon my dry complexion.8
You see my filth, and absorb my faults.9
And to you, my unconditional love, I am Perfect

That was great. I feel the same way, sort of, about myself. The only difference is, i dont have an unconditional love to prove to me that I am ' Beautiful '.
This truely was great.
