The ugly girl like me.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic
The ugly girl like me. 

In my high school days, I learned the truth. The ugly duckling girls like me were never seen. I was a brown-eyed girl with hand-me-downs. Whose name they could never pronounce. The beauty queens who would get to serve only got what they deserved. And the only ones who win the game lose the love they sought to gain in the ventures of quality and dubious integrity isn't what it seems when you are in school at seventeen. It was my dream.
