Beastly Beauty

Will Belle ever find true love despite her looks?

Everything is in its place,
the music,
the dress,
all except for my date...
because of my "beastly" appearance,

No one to dance with,
no one to talk to,
no one to make me feel beautiful inside and out
I'm all alone in this world...
without a soul  to protect me

Until you show up...

You came out of nowhere,
through the crowd
just to say hello to me
you take my hand, and we dance,
we dance as if no ones watching

You kiss me and I stare at you blankly,
I ask: "Why'd you do that?"
and he says: "I love you for whats on the inside, not the outside"

As we look into each others eyes
I remember what my mother always said to me:
"Inner beauty if far more beautiful than outer beauty."

I actually felt beautiful,
for the first time in my life...
and I hadn't been told a lie

I found someone to adore me
for me,
and for being just the way I am

Well planned poem. The scale is written clearly, it flows dramatically. Agree with your words too, "Inner beauty if far more beautiful than outer beauty". Now days, many people would only care on our appearences but not our personality. We need ot realiza that the way we look doesn't equals to that we're that kind of person. I love Beauty and the Beast, I learnt such a meaningful message here.

Nice poem. It is a nice description of how love does not always necessarily depend on just how one looks. It also depends on personality.

Good one..!!

Another classic you've rewritten. I really enjoyed this. It made me think of a report I did in high school about true beauty lies inside.

AWWWWW!!!! This can relate to so many things, and you can read the true lesson. "See what is on the inside and appreciate the beauty within" Love it!

Your tenses are a bit messed up. Present, past, present..
Otherwise, this is a deep peace.

You always have such enchanting pieces and they are very joyful to read. "Inner beauty is far more beautiful than outer beauty." That is so true, but the world we live in today hardly ever tries to send that message. It's always outer image, outer image. I wish things were different, but I suppose pieces like this remind me there are people who still stick to their guns as far as the way they think.

cute ending

I like how you switched the roles around. It was an interesting take on a classic story. Maybe try adding in a few images though. In places the writing could be stronger, instead of "no one to dance with" try painting a picture of this beast alone on the dance floor. I like the premise. I'm not trying to be mean at all; I'm just trying to help make this poem the best it can be. :)
