Am I not beautiful?
Does my face not make you weep?
Am I such a disgrace to perfection?
That you refuse to see me?
...
Change can hit at any time
and it can make you hurt
take the person you once knew
and bury them in the dirt
...
Centuries ago you were light
The one I couldn't believe
A mystery within the white
The song I couldn't sing
...
You were nothing but a parasite
A worthless leach that feasted on my body
A poor man begging for a coin
With an empty cup that won't ever be filled
...
There's and emptiness inside my soul
Something he took that made me whole
And left a virus that eats me
Until someone can give me the key
...
How can I describe my love?
What images can I use?
Are words enough to justify
What you mean to me
...
I am just a simple girl who lets her pen do the talking. I am not published but one day I hope to be and your comments would really help me know what other's see in my work. Thank you.)
Am I Not Beautiful
Am I not beautiful?
Does my face not make you weep?
Am I such a disgrace to perfection?
That you refuse to see me?
Am I not beautiful?
When I glide down the stairs do you not turn and look?
Is my chest not to your liking?
Do you not envision me in your fantasies?
Am I not beautiful?
Do you prefer I cover up?
Is my body so ugly and large
That you cannot bear to touch me?
Am I not beautiful?
Is this not what you had in mind?
I have starved and sweated, submitted and subdued
I have been cut open and resealed, redecorated and reshaped
Am I not beautiful?
Do you not remember your words?
The years you joked and poked at me
Now look what I have become for you
My beauty has no meaning but the labels that came with them
The body is plastic and fake
The face is painted and covered
And the mind is programmed for your command
Is this not what you wanted?
Is this not what you request?
You said you wouldn't like me
Because I didn't look my best
