Beautiful, but Empty
Beautiful was gorgeous, without a flaw
No one was like her, everyone stood in awe
Not an evil thought in her head did aspire
She loved all with a passionate fire
All who saw her envied her so
Beautiful was perfect from head to toe
And as she fell fast asleep
Into her mind a lie would creep
A mirror and a hallway, endless they did seem
Was the world of her dreadful dream
The mirror reflected her looks so far
Her golden fleece of sun-kissed hair
Her eyes were glistening oceans of blue
Her heart was pure, her love was true
This and more in the mirror she did see
Yet something more she wanted to be
Beautiful's beauty was enough to satisfy
But the empty she felt made her cry
Then the mirror brought forth another face
But this one had a lasting grace
"That person looks joyful," Beautiful thought
"If I was her I might not rot."
This joy she would never find
Only sorrow that filled her mind
She finally realized she wasn't happy
And that looks are nothing but empty
She shattered the mirror then was awake
From that night on sorrow would overtake
And the only one who's perfectly beautiful
And full of happiness that isn't dismal
Jesus is His name, the Lord of all
Even in her brokeness He loves Beautiful
