What do you see when you look at me?
A raging beauty you once said,
I should have known better then.
One accident, one simple thing,
changed my life forever.
What say you now that I have no figure?
What say you now that I am not beautiful?
You say nothing, and only turn your back,
what kind of man are you,
to only look at the outside.
Beauty is what is found in the inside,
that I have learned, and so should you.
I've changed, or have you not noticed?
No longer am I swayed with your words...
how can I be,
when you can't even look at me?
I've changed, maybe for the better.
Looks don't matter to me anymore.
People love me for what is inside,
they don't see the scars,
not even the fading bruises that seem to reappear every day.
One accident, one simple thing,
changed my life forever.
Now when people look at me, they see nothing
but the worlds most beautiful beauty queen.
Author notes
Okay, I don't really know what to say about this one....But I can say it's not truthful in the sense that it happened to me, but happened to someone I know....and I sort of mixed more than just what happened to her with how I felt about something totally different...so please just read and tell me what you feel...
Blessed Be and Slainte,

Oh I loved this. I know someone who this happened to as well and I can say he broke her heart. It's sad that sometimes looks are all that matters. I loved the last line. It was perfect. A good thing came from her accident. She found the beauty inside that her looks had always drowned out. Now she is the sweetest and most kind person I know. She found her inner beauty. Thank you for entering and good luck in my contest.

this is really good..i've felt like this before..that looks don't matter...but it neverstays with me..i still worry about if i'm pretty enough, or skinny enough, or if i'm attractive...the sad part about that is, that most of the teenage and adult population has these same thoughts everyday..it's like an illness that never goes away...this is a g reat write..and it makes you think of how you feel about yourself...great write..good luck in the contest.
