It's The Inside That Counts

by BeeJay   Jul 7, 2006


Without your eyes,
Without your hair.
Without your smile,
And skin so fair.

Without your nose,
Without your teeth.
I see your beauty,
That lies beneath.

No more facades,
You don't need to hide.
You have a true beauty,
That lies inside.

Without your soul,
Without your brain.
Without yourself,
And all your pain.

Without your talent,
Without your dreams.
Your beauty is gone,
It no longer gleams.

For it is your inside,
That makes you unique.
With only an outside,
You become bleak.

    With only an outside you become bleak, I don't know how you did that but keep it up. This makes me feel great inside.

    Hello... ^_^
    I really enjoyed reading this one... Very nice write.
    Beautiful actually.
    I really liked it... And I regret the fact that I can't tell you this without sounding like I'm trying to kiss your .... Yeah...

    I thought the flow was pretty rad, and the topic was very nicely chosen. Er... Something... Anyway's.

    I read some of the comments you left to other people. And I like your honesty.
    I hope you'll comment my poems and tell me what you think... No matter how discouraging it may be.

    Happy writing,
    Hannah.
