Tatianna Leachet Poet Rhyme

Beautiful

I am Beautiful
This I do not choose to believe
But how can I be so naive?
I think to myself
“Everything about you is imperfect”
But who can really say that they’re perfect?

I hate my own reflection
It makes me cry
Just like raindrops from the sky
I don’t like who I am
But nobody said that it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

I stare at myself
I don’t like what my eyes are able to see
This can’t be me
I am broken
But it’s not my face that’s beaten
It’s my heart that’s been eaten

I am beautiful
This I have come to believe
But how could I have been so naive?
I think to myself
“Nothing about you is imperfect”
Who can really say that they’re perfect?

My reflection shines like a star
It makes me smile
I’ve never seen something such worthwhile
I love who I am
But nobody said that it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

I stare at myself
I love what my eyes are able to see
This can’t be me
I am beautiful
But it’s not my face that shows it
It’s my heart that portrays it

John Fleming March 28, 2017 at 9:23 AM I have heard it said by wise folk that: "Beauty is skin deep". I would have to say, on reflection, that this is most profoundly true. Nicely espoused, Tatianna Leachet...Nicely espoused. My very best regards! :) john P.s A seven for wearing your heart on your sleeve for the whole waking world to see. :) Tatianna Leachet March 28, 2017 at 1:08 PM Thank you.
