You’re incredibly beautiful, but you know that.
Beauty
Skin Deep
Every day older
Wiser
life and hardship
Outward
Face up
Bold, strong, and fierce
Strides to success
But so
Tired
Swinging to and fro
Only gradually
moving forward
emotion
self satisfaction
You’re incredibly beautiful, but you know that.
A hurricane
of movement
Tearing inside
pushing out
wailing
breaking
Agonizingly slow
Torrent
of shame
self-doubt
Precariously close to
Tipping over
Roaring winds all about
Pushing
Edging
Closer and Closer
Scream
You’re incredibly beautiful, but you know that.
So strong
So Beautiful
Pulled Together
And inside
it crumbles
You’re incredibly beautiful, but you know that.
