Under Baggy Clothes

I see it all the time. I've lived it so I know it's true. There is a gorgeous woman standing right in front of you

No, you cannot see her so don't squint your eyes. The vison that beholds her is of Loves true disguise.

A weaker man will say, she really lost her glow. What happened to the Beauty I met not long ago?

She had curve, she had wit. She was truly a rare gem. Now all I see is a stranger I call Jen.

So, there she goes he lost her. Right thru his fingers did she slip. Her baggy clothes and messy bun had really done the trick.

I used to be so great she whispered to herself. Now no one will love this messy dirty elf. I'm too tired from the day to make myself look great. The kids need tending, I guess I'm not a saint. I just don't seem to care if I'm something you hate. The kids are still alive and guess what, they ate!

So, she continues on with baggy clothes and messy hair. Thinking to herself that no one will care.

Then one day unknowing, she met a quiet guy. He said "I think your gorgeous" she said it's not nice to lie.

He said "Can I show you a secret, I would need your trust" and so she agreed. Her curiosity telling her she must.

He took her to a clothes store. He let her buy a dress. He took her to the salon to tame that curled up hair of mess. He took her out to dinner and wined her ever so. Her smile kept on growing, her skin began to glow.

When the night was over, he walked her to her door. He kissed her cheek and took her hand. She really wanted more.

"Good night" he said. "Until we meet again" Clearly, she had made a new friend. She took herself upstairs......away went the dress, up went the hair.

She smiled at her messy self for now she understood. She could be gorgeous any day she chose she would. For what the man had given her was something she already had. He made her see beneath the baggy clothes that made her ex mad. Her messy bun was big and that was totally fine. A stronger man would see her, perfectly divine.
