When I was sixteen, a female friend in her early twenties saw me in town with the girlfriend I had at the time. Later, she told me, "Sammy, I thought you'd have a pretty girlfriend." Her words were tough to swallow, and I felt a combination of anger and embarassment. Sure, I knew my girl didn't have a great face, but her figure was amazing and I liked her. Society too often places value on the unimportant and superficial.

You liked her because you saw her inner beauty that makes you happy whenever you are with each other.
You're right. Our society places value on things that are shallow... just skin-deep.

I love this, it is so important that we see inner beauty. That which exists within ourselves and that which exists in others.

Before we start loving others, we should know how to love ourselves first....for we cannot share what we don't have. If we love ourselves, we should know how to appreciate what is good in us...our true beauty.
Thanks for reading this piece.
Yes there's beauty in everyone somewhere deep inside, and only a few will ever be able to see it, for only those who truly care will get to look deeper inside a being.¨
Wonderful poem.

Yah, thanks Angel B. Only a few could see my heart.
"The beauty in me is not skin-deep
Like a treasure you would hunt
Like a gift you would keep"
These lines are absolutely stunning!
A beautiful poem by a beautiful lady. :)
