I Wish I Were Beautiful

Oh, to be beautiful...
The drop dead gorgeous type
the let me revel in the hype
that follows my cat walk stride kind

Oh, to be beautiful...
the beauty pageant kind
the stop in your tracks and stare
as I throw back my raven hair
my hips swaying here and there
the too good to be true kind

Oh, to be beautiful...
airport beauty section poster kind
the stare if you dare kind
the I'll steal your soul and make you crave kind

I want to be beautiful
I want to know what it's like
to be adored with delight
Oh, oh how I would revel
in that light

But..
I'm not beautiful
I guess I have my little share,
and I really shouldn't care
about how I look or what I wear

BEWARE!!!

My poetry can cast a spell
rosy word tinted illusions that make you see
a beautiful enchantress in me

Finally.... my wish come true
I'm infinitely beautiful
beautiful to you.

Dear Eileen, Absolutely captivating! The imagery and raw honesty drew me in completely. You skillfully conveyed the yearning for beauty while highlighting the deeper, enchanting allure of your words. The ending was especially poignant, celebrating inner beauty. Your talent is truly spellbinding. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Yes, we're all beautiful to someone, or at least we should be. Well written
