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 : ) by: P.D.

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

also, P.D. the reason i fibbed about my age was because i felt way too young to be here on the soup, but its still super young.haha. i wanted other poets to consider talking to me before knowing my age and chosing not to speak if they knew before.(: have a great night my friend. take care. ~Always&Forever

about your mother, thats really sweet then, that she stayed for just a small moment only for you.her grandson, is he your son,or ur sis.i guess i shouldn't ask.but that is very touching.im sorry,if my write tormented you at the end of my narrative.but i feel like its real to me, like i would know how it feels in such a way that it came naturally when writing it.hey, P.D. i hope your mother is well where ever she is, and shes lucky, to know what you look like,i mean, you are her child.-always

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.
