Beautiful in Mind

You won't remedy insecurities

by beating up the blind

Ugly is only ugly to those ugly in the mind

See the beauty in the beautiful

by being beautiful and kind

What's beautiful in your eyes

is beautiful in mine

True words...this reminds me of my grandmother's favorite saying "Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself". I remember it always, even years after her first saying it to me. To be beautiful is to be compassionate, honest, open, and kind...sometimes, however, being such an open door invites in the theives and liars. Unfortunately, my internal "alarm system" is not so good in that regard. Nice write.

Perfectly written. Wonderful, it seems like a song. Very nice.

Poets so beautifully glimpse the richness of colors and emotions... they see the world in a deeper way. Teach us all to see this beauty.

Wow Keely you are being prolific! But this is another lovely piece and it has a very sage message.

I like this. Concise but speaks volume. Nicely penned

The not so obvious is beautiful in its own not so obvious way.

I am thinking about the "mirror," a classic example of snow white. The mirror reflects the truth of ourself. Our eyes is like a mirror, whatever things we've seen, we always react either it is a constructive or distructive way, it depends how we see things. I like this piece, it really resonates how our mind downplayed some perfect judgment because of human flaws.

Very straight forward .....and insightful piece. I like it. I can't really add anything to this simple fact. Thank you for sharing it with us readers.

I agree with the thoughts in the poem. I like the way you made the poem roll into a positive ending. You are right. If we are negative. We won't see the beauty in our life. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

many who see very clearly, really see nothing at all with their skewed vision and judgement...

i love this piece...

one suggestion "What's beautiful in your eyes"

but a nice use of repetition to make this one sing.
