Question: Meaning of This poem!?
All the world loves things of beauty and intrigue, these two things I've never had one
Born in this old skin, I'm too sick I can't win, I've lived with this damage too long
My eyes can't behold it, I cannot control this, this feeling that's left in my heart
I've never done no wrong, I don't deserve these bones, please burn up this sin when I'm gone
And I said that this is ugly to me
The world is ugly to me
You are ugly to me
And I am ugly to me
I haven't become all I want to be
I haven't become anything I need to be
I haven't become all I want to be
Suffocate with me
I haven't become anything
Suffer
Why can't you look, why can't you look at me, see what I see
Why can't you feel, why can't you feel like, me feel what I feel
Why can't you hurt, why can't you hurt like me, taste the pain I feel
Why must I die, why must I die for you
It's the ugly truth, well it's ugly
It's making me painlessWww@QuestionHome@Com

Wow!. I'm usually really good at this, but I'm not completely sure!. It's really sad, the person who wrote it is trying to convey how much they loathe themselves!.!.!.

If I had to guess, I would say that this person feels that they were never given a fair chance, that they were labeled a certain way before they got the chance to prove themselves, and although they have done nothing wrong, they have assumed the identity of the label because it's easier than wasting the energy trying to gain love and affection from people who won't give them any!.

In my humble opinion, this is a person who was told from the time they were born they were ugly, no good, will never amount to anything, have anything, never loved, and will never love anyone!. Was probably beaten, verbally and physically!. They are depressed, suicidal, and don't understand why they are the way they are and doesn't know who to blame!. General feelings of inadequacy, doom and gloom!. They want to die, but are afraid!. Really in a mess mentally!. Hope that helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
