it's hard to believe i am beautiful

when in the eyes of the world

beauty is the opposite

of achievable

without bending yourself

out of who you are

i want to stay me

true to my being

No person should ever take so much of me

I have nothing left when they leave

__________

Don't smile because they tell you too

Smile because you are happy

__________

My heart is breaking

Fall 

She gathers up her skirts

Smiles at the world

Thanking mother earth for letting

Her stay a little while

Fall

Watches

As winter glides over

In her icy gown and snow-white locks
