Skin Deep

On the surface she was beautiful But she was ugly deep inside Yet always she was surrounded With many men by her side On the outside she was ugly Her beauty was deep within She was always left by herself Shunned by all the men Showered with gifts and compliments Never wanting for a date Even though inside her heart was dark Intoxicated with hate Full of love and sympathy Always lending a helping hand Never receiving a single call Avoided by every man We can be so shallow Deceived by our very own eyes If we could only learn to see with our hearts We men would be surprised

going to my favourites, i agree with this entirely, this Hollywood concept of handsome is good ugly is bad, totally does my head in, thanks Joe this is brilliant. Harry
