MY FACE
SOMETIMES INSECURITIES CAN MAKE ME FEEL INADEQUATE. IT TOOK A CLOSE FRIEND, TO MAKE ME FEEL MORE WHOLE AS A PERSON. THIS IS A POEM DEDICATED TO HIM.
MY FACE
SOME PEOPLE SAY MY FACE
IS PRETTY TO SEE
BUT WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW
IS IT'S NOT REALLY ME
IT TOOK A CLOSE FRIEND
TO MAKE ME KNOW
IT'S WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE
NOT WHATS OUTSIDE FOR SHOW
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SCARED
THAT WHEN I GOT OLD
THAT ONE ONE WOULD WANT ME
AND MY HEART WOULD GROW COLD
HE SAID KIM THAT'S NOT TRUE
I CAN TELL YOU NO DOUBT
CUZ WHAT I SEE ON THE INSIDE
IS MORE PRETTY THAN OUT
YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD FRIEND
THAT TO ME YOU WILL BE
JUST AS PRETTY AS NOW
WHEN YOU TURN 83
SO NOW I HAVE LEARNED
THAT THE BEAUTY MEN CHASE
IS WHAT'S IN MY HEART
AND NOT IN MY FACE
