Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Dramatic Monologue

Marred Beauty

People say she has a marred face,
but her face looks beautiful to me
People say that she's too overweight,
but I'm attracted to her immensely
I'm attracted to her smile,
it's so, so sweet
I'm attracted to her heart,
it's so, so kind
I'm attracted to her mind,
it's so, so smart
I'm attracted to her will,
it's incredibly strong
So when my baby sometimes gets to feeling down,
gets to feeling bad about herself
I do the little loving things to try and cheer her up
Try to put a smile back on her face,
try to make her once again be happy
Let her look into my loving eyes,
then open up myself, let her come inside
and show her exactly what my heart see
