Poem: Eye of the Beholder

I wish I looked like someone else
Not me not now not of this skin
If not then let me disappear
See only outside whats within

I am afraid of what you see
That I am judged at first on sight
I dont purport to offer much
My face wont set the world alight

Its getting worse as years fly past
Im more perceptive to a glance
An eyebrow raised, the faintest smile
I know when I dont stand a chance

I cannot change the way Im made
Tho lack of beautys surface bound
Ive much to offer from beneath
So much to give, to share around

I wish I looked like someone else
But looks alone are not enough
At least I have been blessed within
I know myself and I know love
