I paint my face so no one will see
the ugliness that I see in me
But you say you saw my beauty shine through
I guess that’s how I fell for you
Though as different as chalk and cheese
our hearts and minds connect with ease
you saw my hopes and killed my beasts
I saw your thoughts and held my peace
But I’m still afraid to be with you
afraid that you may see me ugly too
Great write, Lynnie... brilliantly worded and 'beautifully' composed! ! Brian
Great poem! If others see beauty in you then you should see it too- everything is in confidence! Love is blind. Keep up the good work :)

I would like to translate this poem
I really like it! If 1 tells you that you are beautiful, it starts to build that confidence. Trust that one person in what they say, & build your confidence, it's not easy, but it's definitely do-able. Good Write!
