Take Another Look.A Poem by LydiaI know you're no know-it-all But what I know, what I've known - You're always there when I fall, You let me go down And you build me back up Bring me to the top Convince me: I can't stop, I won't stop! You're the reason I can stand up and fight For me, what I believe See, You don't know everything And neither do I, Regardless of 34, less or more. You're the energy, My audience I feed off your presence, Your words and your wisdom Original or not No matter if it's The former or latter, That's not what it's about. Either way you've gotten me Through some tough times, rough times. When I'm Down on my luck You're increasing my faith: Don't get my hopes up Don't wait until time's up I try and see the world for what it is Try to see the real me behind the beauty Queen That wasn't ever really real. Sometimes, like Elizabeth - I just don't want to feel. We're the same, You and me, You and I Except I'm ugly where it matters most While you're beautiful inside. I've got the looks, that Might just be true And maybe I'm alive, But on the iniside I'm Dying, Drifting away: Roderick, Madeline One in the same. But you feed my soul, Your dreams - glorious! You're everything I want to be: Beauty Queen or no No go, no show, That's ME, I accept it YOU'RE the Beautiful One, Now go out, And own it.
