Skin Deep

Naked without color natural glamour on the outside sweet and courteous imaginary clamor with astride wake up and advance as is need not glitz a looker no require for waterfalls pure spritz not a snooker polish not and matches in everything fresh in linen carefree when going right waltz swing if so tailspin talkative at times when directed back to if not speechless seen the falsity of those who walk through that are teach less innocence lost when pain presented disasters now defiant no need to conform but needs interaction broadcasters to be compliant unapproachable with strangers and acquaintances alike friends yeah sure they leave her alone when fear approaches flint a strike no love pure no one seems to grasp it this is real though escapes demise when with them hoping they one day will realize this is where transforming will stem

Many times people judge by what they see, while often jumping to wrong conclusions. Perhaps it's time to stop, think, and take a good look at ourselves! ~ Regards // paul

How will your mirror be polished, if you are irritated by every rub? Rumi. You are right and this is a clever way of expressing it...

Beauty can be appreciated more when we realise the qualities inside a person. Outward glamour is often a lie and skin deep. ~~
