Do you believe I should become a poet?

I am an 18-year-old gay man and my youth has left me. I am ugly. I have come to the conclusion that all men hate me because I'm old, fat, and ugly. I used to think I was beautiful but I was mistaking. I look good depending on the lighting. If I look at myself in my mother's mirror, I look very handsome and can look at myself for hours. I look very young, too. But when I look myself in the bathroom, I can nearly vomit. I have large pores if I look closely and if I look at my hands closely, they aren't that of a child anymore. Although they are quite beautiful, they have pores on them, too. I wish I had no pores at all and looked beautiful. I would give everything I own to be beautiful but it's impossible.

I wanted to be many things. An actor, a singer, and many other show business-related things, but I've decided to live all alone in a dark apartment and become a poet. How do I go about writing poems and getting them published in a book? They will all be about my memories and my lost youth.
 
A Struggle within yourself that is great, I am 18 as well, but you seem to call yourself older beyond belief.

Poetry can be a passion to you, but do not let your youth slip away from you, you can turn everything around. Take life and use it, being in the dark never helps, you have darkness like everybody else, but dont let this fear overtake you. Where every darkness exists a light of opportunity.

I offer you this advice
"Life isn't over unless you say it is, there are many people who find you perfect the way you are, do not let that light slip you, as for it will be your guide to a happy future"
