~Skin Deep~

Call it anger and hatred, at the world Outside
But aren't you really, only scratching the Surface
Could it really be only your surface, that you place Outside
And you are truly, just too scared to face This

Put on your tuff exterior, and raise up your Walls
For this is your Fortess, that you protect and Keep
And just how are you, going to truly appreciate the beauty Outside
When the beauty you seek, isn't even..."Skin Deep"

Realize you're Own Inner Beauty 1st
For it isn't the world outside that's Ugly....

It Might Just be Your Very Own Spirit
Find Yourself First!...Then Enjoy Yourself!

Peace

  • I love how your writes set the reader back on their heels if they don't accept their own personal responsibility for who they are...If you're a hater...no way you'll accept the truth here...But you extend that olive branch at the end...that ray of hope for change...Find yourself then enjoy yourself...(joy comes in the morning, after we 'see' the light, eh?...)Excellent. Peace, Rhonda

    This is a great write with such words of wisdom. "Find yourself first..Then enjoy yourself". I really love that line, especially enjoy yourself. So many of us do not enjoy ourselves and our lives. We spend too much time on things that mean nothing in the end. Well done, this is great.

    I totally feel this piece! The outside, as you say, is a reflection of us, so when we change ourselves we change what we call our lives.
    Well said, and appreciated,

    such a positive message in this with so much truth. I like that you took something that could have been cliche' and gave it a twist. kicking the negativity from the inside out is a hard thing to do -- but so many have. So glad to see such positive thoughts here...

    I always enjoy to stumble into your page and read the basic messages contained within your words. Such things people have forgotten and often you remind them. Keep spreading the word, someone has got to do it!
