Appearance
Ugly! That's what you are;
But she said your definition of beauty is bizarre.
Horrendous face, terrible features;
She replied, I'm also one of the divine's creatures.
The purity of heart, a pinch of talent and a gash of empathy; yes that's precisely what beauty was, and will ever be
She turned tone deaf to all the derogatory remarks and boxed her way out.
She practiced and practiced and got in good books of a talent scout
Boxing was her passion, boxing was what had made her proud.
One fine day, she got up and was dazzled by the flashes of camera lights,
She was booming with pride, shining like a star bright;
A beauty undefined, unique in her own way
She was beautiful and she knew it, all along her stay
She entered the stage, making the crowds go frenzy,
That day her critics realized, you can't call a world champion ugly.
