Arrogance and selfish pride
once adorned my frame
such abominations
twisted my heart
and filled me with shame
I walked the earth
for much a time
in stature of a beast,
but in time and time enough
my beauty was released.
I learned to love
to love to be
a servant to the world,
and thus i found
true beauty lies within

I hate to not comment on the works I read but all I can say is that this peice is well written and has left me in a pencive mood. Emersed in my own thought I can not say more about your work.

There's something to be said for internal rhyme, or rhyme that helps increase the rate of flow in the poem, verses stilting it with obvious end-line rhyme schemes. Though there was rhyme in this, it works incredibly well. Thanks for entering.
