I AM BEAUTIFUL

I am beautiful;

but my heart is locked

from the pains of yesterdays

in knowledge, I do have

the good and the bad

I get happy and sad

I get overwhelmed with emotions

of feelings that cut so deep within me,

oh, how my heart

bleeds out in ink

for all to read about me

what it is that I feel

and what isn't seen

on the eyes of hate,

from my own hatters

I stand up for who I am

no matter the pain

that comes my way,

I am Beautiful within my soul

I am elegant yet brave

but at times I am afraid

I am a woman of knowledge

I know I have so much more to learn

as this life keeps on turning,

I will keep doing what it is I love

even when I am aging with time

I will keep on writhing

and fighting for me

while the old pen bleeds the ink of me.
