Hidden Beauty

I look in the mirror what could I possibly see
I see this woman who doesn't even notice me

I am the one she keeps buried inside
I am beauty and I want to be recognized, I no longer want to hide

Please look deep within and you will find me
I am beauty and I want to be free

You don't even notice me because you have buried me so far
I want you to see how beautiful you truly are

Nothing in this world can take me away from you
But you have to realize that beauty lies within you

You! are strong, You! are confident, You! are smart
You. Are. Beautiful.

Don't let hurts, disappointments, rejections, shame nor pain keep you from seeing me, from seeing you
For You Are Beautiful!

Hey Sis,
You never cease to amaze me. You are so multitalented. This is why I look up to you. Your in depth description of "BEAUTY" leaves me in awe. You have such a way of putting things. This poem is very uplifting and true. Women need to be reminded of that beauty that God specifically gave to us, and to say it to ourselves daily, In spite of our different obstacles that we go through as women. I encourage you to keep bringing it Girl......Some of us are positioned to lead and some to follow....YOU ARE CERTAINLY A LEADER by far.
