You're Beautiful, Though..

But.. You’re beautiful.. 

He says. 

Why waste your time on him? 

Unfortunately 

The decision I have made 

Is not 

A whim. 

Dedicated my life 

My heart 

And my soul 

All of that 

Ain't for nothing 

No matter what 

You’ve been told. 

Are you crazy? 

He says. 

Delusional? 

Or Dumb? 

Why give it  

All you got? 

That dude is a bumb. 

I say,  

None of the above. 

The heart wants 

What it wants 

At least I’m being  

Honest 

With where I  

Place my love. 

What’s on the  

Outside  

Matters none. 

It’s my heart  

With the beauty. 

And if he can bring it out 

Then I feel it’s my duty 

To shine my inner  

Light 

On the world 

To be seen. 

Even if the love  

I seek 

Is only  

In a dream. 

So, if you think  

I’m beautiful... 

What exactly  

Do you see? 

Are you looking  

On the outside, 

Or the inside  

Of Me?
