Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

.            BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP

               When I walk I hold my head down.
               Very shy and always carry a frown.

               A little meek and hardly ever smile.
            Everyone laughs cause I have no style.

         The way I wish I was is only in my dreams.
                 Because of my bad self esteem.

                     The way I feel is oh so true.
  "I have dipped my pen in the sublime, it is my gift to you"

          I have no friends and no one really cares.
           The way I look makes people only stare.

                When I see myself all I do is weep.
         Mama says sweetie beauty is only skin deep.

        She looked at me and said you remember this
               you close your eyes and make a wish.

                Life is what makes you who you are.
        Be a good person and that will make you a star. 
                                Teresa Skyles
