Confidence

Does she really
not know
how beautiful
she is
with her
fresh baby skin
her innocent
childish eyes
her hesitant smile
devoid 
of pretentious
guiles

I do believe the most beautiful often have no idea of their beauty.

The truly beautiful often don’t see their own beauty!

i don't think people see the beauty in themselves as much as they see it in others, so maybe not!
