Skin Deep

They used to say that beauty

Is the better gift to have

It can buy you

Whatever you need

 

But I can say beauty is only skin deep

 

It hasn’t bought its wearer

This much I have known

Friendship or respect

Happiness or creed

 

Beauty after all, is only skin deep

 

And when alone the maiden

Who’s Visage all condone

Wonders as of yet

Where her beauty can lead

 

Beauty she sees, is only skin deep

 

Although she tried relentlessly

Her countenance she knows

Cannot really change the set

Of what another’s mind truly sees.

Ultimately, beauty is only skin deep.

 

So all that blackness inside her soul

Can overshadow the hold

Of the outer shell

Her beauty speaks

 

Beauty is sadly, only skin deep.

 

Therefore she really tries

To work inside and mold

Her inner shine well

And her true beauty is freed

 

Is beauty only skin deep?

 

When the inner trapping stands out

In its stunning form so bold

No longer away will it melt

The outer beauty now meets

 

Her beauty did transcend, it is now above  

And beyond skin deep.
