Scrape it away

Missing image
Look and see
Dirty
Grimy
Scarred
Weathered
Nothing of beauty or value
or is there?

Underneath I see
Beauty
Strenght
Perfection
Uniqueness
a treasure

but it takes the eyes
of one who can see
underneath
the hurts
the abuse
the pain
the fear
the lack of trust

to see
a person of worth
a special one
who's value is not
determined by
the surface paint

In a list

    Very beautiful. It's sometimes hard to look beneath the surface, but that's where we should start.
