Notes About The Poem

-----
A Sam Scott poem:
12th September 2023

Listen to poem:

Beautiful

I see beneath your perfect skin 
The layers you create
To hide your insecurity 
And all the things you hate

I see the superficial 
And it matters not a jot
I don't see imperfection
Or all the things you're not

I hear you talking to me
And you nearly hypnotise
I see your lips are moving but 
There's a twinkle in your eyes

There's something I'm beholding
That is not being held by you.
Not the lie you've been projecting 
But a deep place that is true 

Beautiful is more 
Than simply pouting for our friends
It's God's DNA within us
It's the perfect camera lens
