..AND than I realized I could've been BEAUTIFUL



Life swarmed around me
Great expectations adorned me
Love~right at my door step confronted me
There a handsome gentleman stood
Yet, something or someone faster than me
stole me
Calgon~I love CALGON.Where has it gone
So than, I've come and loved you once again
Beauty and the bath right before my
very eyes~Life couldn't contain itself
from kissing my baby heart~shaped lips
He stole a kiss from me
She stole a kiss from him
He confronted me
~She confronted him~
I a KNOCKOUT~Love returned home once again
When I'm here~He's here
He stands for no other
Perplexed with the whole matter
Of whats important to them
I looked up and I was stunned with the
matter at hand~
Thought life made them beautiful
My own beauty was being stolen from me
Teenage Pimples I named it
..AND than I realized I could've been BEAUTIFUL~more beautiful than I am
If I had just kept my wits about me
Yet, they wouldn't be beautiful
That is the tear~jerker that surrounds me
BEAUTY HERE~GONE~TO RETURN
..AND than I realized I could've been BEAUTIFUL
ALL ALONG
The key to it all is in my own hands
once again!
