Rise Above

To rise above you must first know

We start our journey from below

To appreciate beauty you must first see

We learn from the face of the ugly

To understand you must relate

Associate your pain with hate

To love yourself you must get to know

The stranger within us as we grow

You are beautiful stranger I hope you know

Rise above ugly and say hello

introspective and very well written. excellent!

[gabrielle]

Very apt observation. To fully appreciate what's life on top, we must know how it is to start from the bottom. A worth pondering piece.

this is so perfect....

and there is such truth to these words..."we learn from the face of ugly"

yes, we do...everyone has that beautiful stranger within...but each of us has to reach out our hand and meet this stranger.
