You're beautiful
Without a doubt
On the inside
And on the out
Sometimes beauty
Causes pain
Our lives and bodies
Will never be the same
Sometimes Pain
Causes what we think is beauty
From hurting ourselves
Isn't our duty
We are all made different
On the inside and out
But you are pretty
To that there is no doubt
Be happy for who
And what you are
You're lovely
Just like the brightest shining star

"Sometimes Pain
Causes what we think is beauty
From hurting ourselves
Isn't our duty"
That verse was just FULL of wisdom; and I wish that more people could see it like that -
They go through such terrible events, and to such strengths to make themselves 'beautiful' when really all their doing is upping their 'price' [ie attractiveness] on the cattle market [ie to their chosen gender of attraction] ...!
Thanks for entering, very well written

Hey man you could make a little song out of that. That sounds like a love poem. BUT I LOVE IT!! lol

Congratulations on the big win and your first gold! The message to find contentment within yourself fights everything we hear on TV and in glamor mags, etc. Pills for baldness, fatness, stamina, memory, etc. Exercise machines, springs, balls, rollers, yadda... Of course the people that make all that junk have to live too! Oh well, simplicity wins the day in Jilleen's contest... congrats!!!
-
Aww this is really sweet, lovely message you give forth. And I would like to say, your picture is beautiful! The rhyme is slightly forced in some places but other than that it was a nice read so thanks.
