Beauty is in the Eye




It takes a rare and unusual man
to look deep within for the beauty of a soul
Not to be swayed by the superficial packaging
but to truly look deep within
not to care how others will judge him
on who he chooses or why
One man's beauty is the next one's wraith
Be unusual and rare
Look past the outer layers
find what dwells within and be happy for it
Hold it for all it's true beauty
and not as a shiny bangle that glitters
catching all eyes as they pass

Look for the inner light that shines just below the surface

You will be glad you did

    Truth in these words. People need to look past outer beauty, although some just cannot. I think the word you are meaning to use is "rare" in place of rear. Great write, best of luck to you.

      Thank you

      I did spellcheck but if you have a real word it dosen't tell you it's the wrong one only if you misspell it.
