Individual Beauty

by Angelwith1wing

I am not considered beautiful to others For I don't have an appealing face I don't walk with grace And I don't have a body shaped as curvy as a vase I am not considered beautiful to others For I don't always smile I don't stay with today's style And I don't have hair that runs mile to mile I am not considered beautiful to others For I don't gossip about the population I don't join in the evils of my generation And I don't have the "swag" to maintain a popular reputation But I am considered beautiful To the holy one above Who has given his love To this "unacceptable", broken winged dove So for those who don't consider me beautiful You have a long way to go For beauty is not determined by popularity and a great physique But by a great, unique soul.

I am a child of God. I am beautiful and accepted by the Holy One. My objective in life is to serve my God sincerely through poetry. To move people by the words He wrote upon my heart to do something great in their lives. To encourage those to reach their full potential through the love and wisdom that God has bless me with. May God bless those who read and do not read these poems. In Jesus name. Amen. And remember...keep writing on my friends :)

I hope this doesn't sound to cliché for this is how I truly feel about beauty and being outsider. Hope everyone finds meaning and a message in this. Thanks for reading.

Wonderful poem! You send a very inspiring message. My faovrite lines are "beauty is not determined by popularity and a great physique / But by a great, unique soul." Keep writing! Have you ever written a ballad poem? Check out how and more in the "Resources" section.
