Look At Me
I wish when you would look at me
You’d see inside & not just the surface
I love to hear you say how cute I am
How attractive & how beautiful
How much you love my curves,
and compliment my smooth soft skin
with the tips of your fingers
running across my side
And when you look at me with those eager eyes
I know that you want me
There’s no doubt in my mind,
Your eyes tell me that I’m beautiful
It feels good, but not lasting
All my life, it’s all I wanted to hear
The man in my life acknowledge my outer beauty
I never heard it said before, it meant the world to me
And now that it’s all you ever say to me
I realize…
It’s not important now
It never was
I look in the mirror & my beauty cant hide
Who I am inside
I’m constantly questioning my worth
The kind of girl I am and the kind of girl I want to be
And If I’m happy where I’m at
Now all I wish is that you’d look at me
Look past what your physical eyes can see
And peer into my inner being
And when you see inside me
Who I really am
If you find that I’m worth loving
That’s what will mean the world to me
