The Beauty Within..


THE BEAUTY WITHIN..

Maybe they wear glasses, or they've got crooked teeth
They may be fat and ugly, clumsy with two left feet.
Because you can't get past this to see what lies underneath

You're unable to really see the beauty in their souls.
They've qualities deep inside, much nicer than any of yours.
Your beauty's only skin deep, theirs goes through and through.

Sally she's artistic can draw the most beautiful scenes.
But she's got a lisp and she seems to slur her speech.
So you jeer and taunt her, and flaunt your looks supreme.

Your beauty's only skin deep, and you are oh so vain.
Selfish and self-centered, greed and lust your friend
One day you'll no longer be that beauty king or queen.

Bobby he's a bit overweight, but the stories he can write.
Can paint for you a wonderland of mystery and delight.
But you just ignore his words, and call him awful names.


While you grow old and ugly, their beauty will still shine
They've shared their hearts with everyone, inspiring the mind.
While you've only cared about yourself, selfish and unkind.

  1. i love this poem...its something many of us can relate to...how ppl look at us, and see the outside beauty, but inside its ugly,its like the old saying dont judge a book by its cover and its so true, i remmeber as a young girl, how i wud go fetch books at the library and i wud look at the most attractive cover & let pass the rusty old covers...once i gt home that attarctive cover was a useless read i didnt even go further into it..so i thot one day im gng to read one of those rusty tattered books...and what u knw it turn out the best story, and i have read the book like ten times cos i loved it..just like humans..if they dnt like what they see on the outside, they past you..but what they dnt know is tey missing out on a great person..
