Beauty is skin deep
Loneliness is in my soul
Look at the real me
For I am not just beauty
I am somebody to love
Author notes
This poem was from an image of me actually lol its an image from my author page i had to upload it so everyone would know where this came from.I felt like a piece of meat....not to say i think im beautiful just to say this is how i was treated at the time. tanka poems are usually about nature, but i decided to use this picture for my poem. A tanka poem is only 5 lines with syllables in each the order is 5, 7, 5, 7, 7.

Very interesting and different something I dont see much of you usually see haiku's, but this is refreshing. I loved it and it goes well with your main pic. Although you are beautiful I do believe you are more then just that. People are sometimes judged on what they look like whether it be good or bad....there flaws and what makes them attractive often catagorize who they are. I dont believe it should....as I know you dont as well. We are all human and nobody is perfect. But great write you managed to send a message out in so little of words.

I love it!!!
I hate when people look at you and only see physical features instead of what lies within. Finding soneone who has a deeper perception of true beauty is rare so if you have it hold tight...and again amazing write!
