madilyn's mirror

to the girl who doesn't know she's beautiful

i imagine her happy as a child

squealing girlie sleepovers

barefoot street dancing

hopscotch freedom

before the calloused attitude

grew thicker on her lipstick smile

her heart pulsed gingerly 

and her lips cool forever laughing

curious fingers moving her hair

dangly earrings faux jewelry shined

before someone told her something

or moved her heart away

and such a gem  - a raving spectacle

poetry in flowing motion

grace that ignited envy

in her lady's court

before her reflection told a bald faced lie

and closed her lipstick smile

and now in her ink trekked journals

she has become a lyrical heretic

she is a goddess that blasphemes herself

and for the life of me

i don't know why

You are so right. Some people don't know their value , their worth , their relevance , theri beauty and so forth...The greatest self worth is within...Bravo................

It hurts to see such beautiful people oozing with talent, comely, and intelligent that aren't able to see it. I just want to hug them and hope to transmit love from me right into their marrow.

(: thanks sami :)
