Beautiful Beings with Beautiful Minds
Roses are red, violets are blue, if I had one wish
It would to have beauty that would turn heads
Maybe I do or maybe I don't, all I know is
I haven’t felt beautiful in an ultimate, satisfying way
Why say that? Beauty withers away like a flower but
If it makes you feel better, know that you were and still are
The epitome of beauty to the two souls who first laid their eyes on you
I might even say they were love struck by what God gave them
If I am seen as the epitome of beauty by the dear folks
I hold close to my heart, I wonder how I’m seen by those
Who are blinded by the unrealistic perceptions of being beautiful
The thought weighs so hard that at times optimism about
Self-worth or self-esteem becomes a luxury I can’t afford
Beauty isn’t all about the outlook of a person
I tell you, it is so much more than that
It’s the way a person is, his or her whole being
Their smile that either makes one fluster or warm inside
Their laugh which for a brief moment is contagious enough
To make one forget the hurdles life has for them
And just their connections towards God’s appealing creation
I can see you are a being with great intellect
Something I’m not so sure if I have or not
I’m chained and at crossroads right now
The critics and stereotype of society can be
Like a swarm of bees, huddled all around you
Drowning the very thoughts of yearning to come
Out a shell that cages in the profound blossoming of
Talent, creativity and deep understanding of life itself
Do not let the perspectives of a society
Living in a rather imperfect world become your ruler
You have beauty both outside and within you
Your mind is a treasure box of ideas that is
Locked and concealed, just like mine used to be
Unlock it and reveal to the world just how
Much difference you can make by inspiring people
Making them awed to see what you have to offer
Indeed what you have said is true, let us not
Hold ourselves back, allowing doubt and insecurities
Build a wall between us and things we aspire to do
Confidence and strength is to be mastered and built
To say what needs to be heard and shown
Having determination to remove the veil set upon
What we consider ourselves to be and have
And that is a beautiful being with a beautiful mind
