Inner Beauty
Dirty, matted fur, with clumps missing
Black fur, but looks brown form mud
This stray cat has had a hard life
Thrown out by it owners
Abandoned on the streets
Lost more fights then she can count
This stray cat has had a hard life
No place to call home
No food to satisfy her huger
No water to quench her thirst
This stray cat has had a hard life
One day this black cat
Meets a white, a white cat
The most beautiful cat she had ever seen
This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in
The black cat wishes to change
She wants to be like the white cat
She jumps into a bucket of white paint
This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in
Now with fur white as snow
Fur sticking up on all sides
With the stench of paint
This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in
The white cat approaches
With her eyes flooded with concern
She gesture for the black cat to follow her
This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in
The white cat takes her to a pond
The black cat is nervous
She thinks without the paint she is ugly
This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in
The white cat looks her in her eyes
And says "you are perfect just the way you are"
The black cat gets in the pond
Her fun now black again
The white looks the black cat in the eye
And says confidently
"your fur is black as night"
"our eyes are like artic pool"
"they sparkle like a diamond"
"and they shine like the moon"
"you are beautiful on the inside"
"and that is all that matter"
"i see your inner beauty"
"and if they can't see it"
"then they are blind"
This stray cat has had a hard life
But still she smiles like she nothing happened
This stray cat used to want nothing more than to fit in
This stay cat does not care what you think
So don't even try
This stray cat is perfect just the way they are
And if you can't your blind
