The world plays tricks on ours eyes,

Flaws are hidden with great disguise

Through filters, through lies

Oh but I,

Hide behind this common wall at times.

The make-up that hides every pimple,

The foundation that masks every dimple,

For once I wish it were just simple,

To convince myself to accept my flaws.

Confidence is key!

They tell me…

So what,  I’m not every ones cup of tea!

You see…

I am perfect in my own way,

And as you are reading I hope today,

to convince you of my inner beauty.

Past my flaws, I’ve found my cause

Now I welcome you into my heart.

Dear scholarship slam,

This is who I am,

Something I cannot change.

I am caring for others,

Of my sisters and brothers,

More than I am my own self.

My heart is open to others pain,

To help their load, do I sound insane?

Others needs before my own

Make me happy when I come home.

To know I made a person’s day

Is such a blessing don’t you say?

The medical field is just right for me,

Attending to every patient’s plea.

To make a difference and save a life

To me it sounds all too right.

This inside part of me,

Is something I want many to see.

With a little help to pursue my dreams

I could be the doctor for your family.

Although my outside beauty may be masked,

My inside beauty wants to ask

…

Will you help me with my goal?

To become a doctor and help the whole,

Entire world?

Funds for school is all I need

To help me with my childhood dream

Help me help others and you will see

How forever grateful I will be…
