Beauty Lies

underneath the layers of scars

true beauty lays within

delving into the deep end of my soul

of you dare to

peal away the layers of

Anger

Hurt

Bitterness

left within the folds of my soul

by those who reside

before you came along

what I allow you to see

so called beauty is an

illusion a trick of the hand

nothing truly real

you haven’t seen my true beauty

that lay’s within my scars

i have boxed it up

tied a beautiful bow

hid it in the attic of my heart

to afraid to delve in the

deep end of me

to afraid of happiness

know only fear

Pain

Darkness

perhaps your strength

is enough to save the

True Beauty

within
