Shadows of Doubt

True beauty lies beneath the skin From every each way beauty flows within Like a river with strong currents it flows Disguised by the outside no one really knows A certain glance or a polite gesture Sparks this beauty with expectancies of extreme pleasure The true beauty within tries to force itself out But it is compressed back down with shadows of doubt Low self esteem and Non existent confidence Keeps this beauty from seeing the world, one cannot convince Until there desire of love has finally been fulfilled The true beauty that one possesses seems to be surreal Laying it in the dark, in the dark and foggy mist In the world alone and love in wanting Waiting underneath layers waiting for a special kiss With this special kiss, ones true self can emerge Erasing all the years of suppression and all one has suffered Together at last true beauty flows out With a kiss from a special someone She’s in love Without a shadow of a doubt
