Skin Deep Allure

Why can’t I accept the me that I see Always something more that I long to be What there is within counts for so much more Oh, what I would give for skin deep allure Always something more that I long to be Of this foolishness, I long to be free Oh, what I would give for skin deep allure And for just once of myself to be sure Of this foolishness, I long to be free To love this imperfection, A to Z And for just once of myself to be sure Farewell, I say to one so insecure

You have summed up the thoughts of so many of us, Mike. So hard sometimes just to accept ourselves with all of our wrinkles and 'flaw-lines.' This poem packs a punch! Bravo, Gershon
