Something Beautiful

July 27, 2020

When they made you
And I saw you coming
I smiled at you
Because I knew you were beautiful

You were elegant
Unexpected
Something to remember
Something to live by

But they weren't satisfied
They put makeup on you
Told you that you didn't conform
to their standards

I was shocked to see
what they did to you
All because they didn't understand
what they'd made

Now your smile's fake
There's misery in your eyes
You hate what they did
But you want to be beautiful

That beauty's still there
So I'll keep smiling
in the hopes that one day you'll realize
That you're still something beautiful
