Beauty Found Within

Beauty Found Within

What are you talking about that I am nobody.
I traveled deep and far
I came back with the ability
to see all the beauty within
Do not tell me I am ugly because I sin
I found myself while living in the life I deny
trapped in a pit, never did i think I would win

Give me a chance to explain myself
I destroyed all the beauty i once knew
Pushed it deep behind a wall rejecting reality
Living as a lost soul feeding myself on the weak
Roaming all alone
Spiting on this world, torching  my own will to love
God I put you to a side
That is still a book I am working on
The knowledge i once new, i through it all away
Living like a fool
to the worlds destructive ways
Trying to balance  out my life
I closed the doors to receive the perception of every way
taking a deep look I fell to my knees
opening the door to help the ones in need

God it makes me so mad to know
we always put the worlds blame on you
The death of the world is just another beauty
to the life we will have on the other side
The evil we have with in, is just a wake up call
To receive the things we choose not see
blinded by the truth that does not add up at all

Inner beauty buried by my own rage
I felt so  trapped,  somewhere inside
Crying to let her  out
I suffocate her  with my tongue 
Chanting for me to open my mouth
Now I take an oath to never betray her again.
nor  lock her  in the abyss inside of me
My beauty now overpowers the bite off the apple.
In which was taken from  us in the beginning of all  time

A small simple reminder,
That will sooner or later surface the outside
never in my wildest dreams did i imagined 
my beauty would  exposed for all to see
Now that i am strong i will stand up for myself
With God given gift I will also stand up for others
With my  beauty that has bloomed like a rose
I will take that beauty and share for all to see
I will walk where my senses  are needed  
you will follow just to get to know me.
With the reminder so simple as can be
To look, to feel, to perform, is a wake call upon self-image
I found my  beauty which is far more dangerous than vanity
the VALUES of life are the beauty given to me : )

Echo's of 'Amazing Grace', and sounds just as sweet, You certainly have your own way of expressing yourself Dark One or should I call you Evil One after that cooking explanation and scary laugh. Still undecided lol. Take care, Regards Richard

Such an introspective poem you have here PD :) & you sure succeeded in my book, reminding us of the beauty inside us-- :) I really enjoyed this poem of yours, it's very straight to the point yet written in a way that doesn't make you forget so easily--just one typo for the word "through"--I think you meant "threw" for that :) Best of luck in the contest PD, I'm sure this will do well :)

So awesome a write, PD! Oh WOW! I can follow your heart and thought process through which you come to profound awareness. You might want to review only for the sake of typos. You wrote from your heart and didn't pay attention to such details. I understand very well. For ex. 2nd stanza, line 9, I think you meant to say, "the knowledge I once knew, I threw it all away..." I am looking forward to read the complete work. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your nice comments on mine. Caroline.
