She is beautiful
I hate the way people look at her
as If all that matters is that she is not
model thin
why cant people see
her beautiful almond blue eyes
or the freckles that dance around her nose
and her wavy brown hair
with flecks of the sun
why cant people look past her figure
and she the beautiful girl that I do
I only hope
that she sees it too

&hearts; &hearts; I love being myself, and thinking positive of myself,<br /> <br /> <br /> because I know who I am and I don&#039;t<br /> <br /> <br /> try to be someone else. People try to bring me<br /> <br /> down even though they don&#039;t know me or my personality.<br /> But I know me &hearts; &hearts;

Jess, this is beautiful. Not to be cheesy. It really is. The message and the emotion you incoporate. A sort of sadness for the blindness society has for physical beauty. Did you mean see rather than "she" in the fourth to last line? Wasn't really sure. Otherwise, this is an excellent poem.

Hey there, Jess! I love the title, how sweet. I love this, the simplicity is very nice. The concept is something very controversial and I love how you made something so serious, so nice. You say you wish you were able to rhyme because it makes a poem even more special.. I see that you made this poem special! Seriously, when someone can write a lovely poem without rhyming there is so much talent there. I wish I could write poems well without rhyming all the time. You did a great job. The meaning is wonderful and I wish more people saw it the way you do. Descriptions are wonderful.. clear and vivid! Great job!
