What is beautiful? Some would say that in our society it is our ultimate goal But for me, I've found one of the most beautiful things in the world that I've never known I could hvae It's the love for myself, that I never knew esisted For so long, I would hide my true beauty, because I felt that I was no one worthy of love, affection But with time to think on my own, and to ponder, it appeared to me like a dream I awoke with a new found sense of who I'm meant to be There is no someone else in me, my diversity makes me a gem I had a teacher once who told me that I was a gem, and someone would tell me that one day But I've waited, but then I thought about it Does it take someone else to validate a statement that you should already know to be true? Then, I discovered, that someone should be me because I know myself better than anyone Another person told me that I was the marvel of the modern world I know it was a teacher, but I didn't know what it meant Until someone told me it was one of the greatest compliments in the world I am special Finally, one of my greatest compliments came from someone who wanted to be just like me, proclaimed i was perfet this is especially good for me, cuz i've always aspired for perfection You know..that person was right..I'm perfect at being me whenever i think of things that way, I always smile Now, when I walk, I pick my shoulders and head up, and tell myself that I am truly beautiful It doesn't matter to me, if my body is a size 0, hell, that will never happen But it matters, if my heart is beautiful and my personality dazzling Looks fade, but state of mind never leaves you I don't understand why God decided to give me this gift now especially when he took such a great gift away but i know now that I am prepared to make both myself and someone very, very happy I think that the strain on past gifts, was my own self doubt No longer shall I walk in darkness, or shadow I will smile, I will laugh, I will be proud to be me People love me for my inner beauty And I only hope, that just like Jamie, that when I smile my heart will show. |
