POETIC BEAUTY

10/1/2012

  Growing up, I was a pretty emotional child. I had thick skin when it came to facing obstacles, but the feelings I had I needed to release. I found my release by picking up a pencil. Writing, specifically poetry, became an amazing outlet for me. I could take everything that was bouncing around in my crazy head and put it onto a piece of paper. I could explode into a rant about how I was sick of feeling a certain way, or express the gratitude I had for my family and friends. I could do anything! I started pouring my heart and soul into composition books. Page after page of ridiculousness and hilarity, I still love to look back and read some of the things that were so troubling to me in the past. I get a good laugh out of some of it. 
  Every once in a while I will meet someone who carries a certain poetic potential. It can be in the way they speak or even just in the way they move. I can just tell sometimes. Corinne is one of those people. She continues to amaze me in her writing. Seriously though, what young teen do you know that is writing page upon page of an intense zombie thriller story with descriptions that feel like reality?! She is an amazing girl!
  She has written many beautiful poems, one of which talked about True Beauty. So, she has inspired me to write again. This time, I decided to write something for her.. Hopefully I'm not too rusty ;) 

Be-You(tiful)

Don't listen to what they say, my friend 
Their words can be misleading 
They'll try and tell you how to look 
But their speech will be deceiving
They'll pick and pry 
Until you cry 
They'll tell you you're not perfect
But, they'll be wrong
About you, hun
Because you're more than worth it
Your beauty is held 
inside yourself
Your spirit, your presence, your heart
The strength you show
that continues to grow
Is what sets you apart 
Keep your innocence strong 
Soon it may be gone 
Don't let them try to corrupt you
Your heart is pure
Your mind is sure
Hold on to your Beauty that's True
Always be you
Always be true
Keep shinning your light 
on whatever you do 
Keep your eyes open 
But your heart open wider
You're stronger than strong
Your a beauty survivor.
