You Can be Beautiful
November 19, 2014
The person next to me
Has beautiful blue eyes
They are like the calm sea
Big and round, a pleasant sight
The person to my right
Has lovely smooth skin
It glows with such might
A remainder of what had been
The person next to me
Has short and curly hair
It falls of frequently
Leaving a hairy trail
the person to my right
Has extremely small eyes
They are brown and fiery
Not huge and nice
But these two people
Have many things in common
Their hearts are golden
Worth one hundred diamonds
And all the people they helped..
Didn't notice their appearnace
For when we asked them how they looked
They said as beautiful as the summer.

This is for all those people who feel insecure about the way they look. This poem is a remainder of how no one notices your appearance anymore, but rather how kind and understanding you are as aperson.
