Beauty


                                                 Beauty

                                  

 

 

Beauty is within me

Do you see

Can I see 

I see crooked teeth, little head, and long legs

 

What do you see

Is Beauty within me

Depressed and Stressed

Trying to find myself but end up in a gigantic mess

 

The feeling of have no one nevertheless yet I find myself in bed with

The one who started this mess

Made me feel as if I am lesser than him

 

Judged by the way I dress

I talk

I walk

Am ever going to be good enough

 

Beauty is within me

I look in the mirror one more time

And what do I see

I see me

Tall, skinny , and pretty

I smile it is not perfect but it will do

Is beauty with in me

Yes 

I see

You see

Beauty is within me
