Duckling Ugly mirrors Can't hide the fact Turn down the lights Image remains intact Kidding myself again Saying no one cares Trying to ignore The impolite stares Narrow-minded simpletons Never take the time to see The myriad swirl of colors Of the painting inside of me Enjoy your studs and lookers That appeal to your vanity The more shallow you get The deeper I'll be Lonely and bitter me |

rascalx, Loved the images here, especially these ones, Narrow-minded simpletons Never take the time to see The myriad swirl of colors Of the painting inside of me write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Holy!!!  I could feel you in this one. But HEY it all gets better in time. The insides in always so much better than the outer beauty!  Mags Great expressions btw No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |

That was most excellent. And oh so true. How often people are over looked because of their appearance. Good thoughts! *S*   mYsTiC |

Sammi, Thank you; yes, it is a bittersweet "victory" of sorts to feel this way  )Krawdad, ouch? lol Yeah, I guess this is a rather nasty dig in some ways. But my intention here is more to point out the error of judging someone by their looks (or the lack thereof) rather than point the finger. Thanks for reading g, Thank you neighbor! You're one of the few who I have shown my "painting"; it means a lot to know that you "see" me. ) Hugs!kethry, Thanks! The "myriad swirl of colors" image is actually what started this poem. dark kisses, mystic requiem, Inner beauty transcends outer beauty and oftentimes makes those of us who are considered "ugly" all the more attractive. Thanks for your kind words. |
