Take Another Look.

Take Another Look.

A Poem by Lydia

I 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.

Sounds like a pep talk for a friend...and I liked it. Sometimes a bit of self esteem can make the world treat a person differently. Lydia
