"beautiful things"
no offense to beautiful thingsbut i'd rather wear a t-shirt and jeans
do up my hair on occassion or two
yet i would much rather let my hair down for you
lift up my brush, filled with browns and grays
paint my face on with beauty and grace
yet i'd rather not paint a mask on for you
but show you my eyes, my desirous pools
of emotion and love, of heartache and pain
my smile, my tears, the lines of my face
the beauty that you will find as you stare
has been carefully placed - from my nose to my hair
a little dot placed just above my left eye
my round, rosey cheeks and my lips slightly dry
please look very closely, look beyond what you see
look passed epidermis, see what lies beneath
for beauty's exterior, from forehead to chin
yet the beauty i love is only found within
so take no offense, beautiful things
i would much rather wear a t-shirt and jeans
