Eye of the Beholder

I may not be beautiful, 
But I have my beauty – 
If you can see.
I may not be the brightest,
But I have my wisdom – 
This you should, see
I can love unconditionally,
I can be compassionate,
I am good at heart. 
But still, if none of this is in your sight,
Then you’re not the one for me
