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.

i like this, but i cant stop my pessemistic nature from being like 'oh that didnt really happen, thats just something for fairy tales.'

I like this everyone needs to be loved for who they are and who they are is usually what's found on the inside that projects to the outside. Very well written. I like it.

This is so cute! I made me feel all happy and fluffy inside! I really like your play of words and how you mess them together so wonderfully! I believe I'm going to have to favorite this one so I can read it when I'm feeling down!

Love this! You captured everything perfectly. Good Job!

Aw, so sweet and romantic! I loved it! A unique twist to Beauty and the Beast. "I remember what my mother always said to me: "Inner beauty is far more beautiful than outer beauty." Such genuinely truthful lines that mean so much! Lovely poem! :D

i love beauty and the beast too...specially the yellow gown...
now i have only one question...
what about the little mermaid?? ;)
think about her and meanwhile i will say...this goes in as one of my favs in my library!

aww, this is a great one! its not too despondent, but swirls you back into sympathy in just the right way. You set up the scene well, totally get a ballroom image, which is just the perfect place for this sort of scene; it could be a movie, lol
