The Ugly duckling
#MythologyRetold
Mother duck's eggs yatched,
All the ducklings were healthy,
except for one,
who had a long neck and tallest in size,
and the most ugly creature,
the duck family had ever seen.
Hated by the family and friends,
The ugly duckling swam on distant oceans,
found a group of swans,
much afraid of the rejection he was going to face,
he lowered his head to
see his ugly face before he dived and
died,
The waters had his reflection,
Exactly like the swans he had just met.
The swan family celebrated him,
he was the most handsome swan in the family now.
We are sometimes the ugly ducklings,
when we find ourselves in the
wrong places.
