Beauty Within

I can see
a beautiful soul
 lies within me.
    Therefore,
    no mirror
   can reflect
who I really am.

Hi Kelly, I think this poem is amazing. I am creating a zine with elements to encourage self confidence and self discovery. Would you allow me to feature your poem in it? Thank you so much.

Kelly Such a wonderfully written lesson on beauty. The only true beauty in someone is how they treat others and live life. I may not be beautiful outside--but am gorgeous inside. LOL Thanks for the wonderful comment on my One Plus One poem.

I completely agree with you, Robin! True beauty is only found on the inside, not the outside. Unfortunately, the inner beauty is much harder for everyone to see! Thank you for the wonderful comments, Robin! :)

thanks for telling me about your acquaintance with depression, or someone who has it. Yes, it is quite the thing to live with!!

Yes it is, Andrea, you never know which "personality" you are going to get each day. It would be great if there were a real cure for depression.
