'Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it'

She often wandered in the long, lonely corridors of her huge school ,

with no friends to talk to or happily laugh with ,

and all because of her lack of , apparently required , beauty , how cruel ,

and so everyone treated her like vile filth ,

Sad tears were streaming down her pitiful , upset face ,

but alas , there was no one to comfort her and reassure her ,

so she reluctantly made her way to where everyone else was ,

there she saw the most popular and beautiful girl in school , Eva , bullying a small child and laughing cruelly ,

without thinking , she made her way to Eva ,

Eva looked utmost surprised ,

but she didn't care , as she began to shout Eva for bullying the poor child ,

without waiting for her to respond , she took the child's hand and they both made their way to the bathroom to wipe her tears away ,

and as she looked in the mirror , she saw a different person looking back ,

this girl was stunning , she blinked and looked again ,

and the beautiful girl was gone , replaced by the ugly girl she was ,

but this time , she didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed ,

she felt proud to be who she was ,

she'd rather be ugly and kind-hearted than be someone like Eva.
