You And Me

Dedicated to all those who've always thought they weren't attractive/beautiful enough in one way or another.

You And Me

Take a look in the mirror

I know you don't like what you see

But can't you see your beauty deep within

That shines above it all

Never let your spirit wither

Though they may laugh at you and me

But I swear I'll wipe away all the tears you cried

And I'll catch you every time you fall

And I know how you feel, like you won't be the one

The special someone we're all looking for

I know you feel so alone, like there's nowhere to run

And like you'll stay this way forevermore

But don't you know how special you are to me

So just ignore everything they say

Stay here with me now, can't you see what I see?

Take my hand, together we'll find our way

Deep within your heart you shine

Brighter than the moon or the sun

This is beauty redefined

Don't you know you're the one

And don't you know you're better than all of them

Like the stars shining over the distant lands

And I just know how this will end

So I'm proud to call you my friend

Take a look all around you

I know you don't like what they do

But can't you feel that I'm always there

No matter what will come

What if I'd never found you?

Will you still be the same one I always knew?

And I know you're searching for acceptance somewhere

As we watch the rising sun

And don't you know that I'm real, and all this is true

It doesn't matter what they say

And I know you're the one, so let's start anew

'Cause with you I treasure every single day

Deep within your heart you shine

Brighter than the moon or the sun

This is beauty redefined

Don't you know you're the one

And don't you know you're better than all of them

Like the stars shining over the distant lands

And I just know how this will end

So I'm proud to call you my friend

And I know how it feels, like the world's against you

And all the hurtful things they say

But I don't wanna miss a single moment with you

'Cause you're so precious to me anyway

And I know you think you're never good enough

But I know you're good enough for me

So I'll hold you close, though the times may get tough

But we'll make it out someday, you and me

Deep within your heart you shine

Brighter than the moon or the sun

This is beauty redefined

Don't you know you're the one

And don't you know you're better than all of them

Like the stars shining over the distant lands

And I just know how this will end

So I'm proud to call you my friend

[Marie Harrison]

Your poem is a very moving writing. I could tell you put your heart into this. Fabulous write. It's very lovely.

[Charles]

Nothing shallow about this poem. The repeated lines work really well here, but overall I think the poem gets hung up (doesn't advance much beyond the first couple of stanzas). This is a good example of a poem of the genre - keep it up.

[Coyote Poetry]

True beauty can be seen by a wise person. Your words powerful and beautiful. Each set of line make the story stronger and the purpose come out. I like the positive ending. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

no i have never thought that. i know there are a great many good guys out there that aren't shallow. and those who find them are very lucky (sometimes girls don't even realize how lucky they are when they find a good guy). but great poem!
