Can AI interpret backwards

I saw this poem today on May 23, 2018. It's not mine but it sparked an idea or rather a problem in my head. An AI/ML problem or challenge so to speak. We've all heard about sentiment analysis but can AI interpret backwards and forwards the way we can? I'm leaving a copy of the poem for anywone to work on or see here. I'll come back to it soon since I'm still figuring out computer vision AI algorithms but this poem just suddenly made me want to get into sentiment analysis.

PRETTY UGLY by Abdullah Shoaib

I am very ugly so don’t try to convince me that I’m a very beautiful person because at the end of the day I hate myself in every single way And I’m not going to lie to myself by saying There’s Beauty inside of me that matters So rest assured I will always remind myself That I am a worthless, terrible person And nothing you say will make me believe I still deserve love Because no matter what I am not good enough to be loved And I am in no position to believe that Beauty does exist within Me Because whenever I look in the mirror I always think Am I as ugly as people say?
