beautiful?

when i look back at her familiar face

noticing each imperfect trace

i realize that she's not enough

i demand she call out her bluff

when i look at her tired eyes

who's given into their unrealistic lies

i wonder if she'll ever get better

i wonder if they'd ever let her

analyzing each crevice in particular

wondering if life has her ready cure

wondering if someone will say beautiful

for once let her wonder flow

maybe just maybe there's hope out there waiting

a compliment that will make her heart sing

that maybe someone will see her different

away from all the diligence

that maybe someone will see her different

away from all the diligence

About the Creator

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
