Beastly Beauty

Will Belle ever find true love despite her looks?

Everything is in its place,
the music,
the dress,
all except for my date...
because of my "beastly" appearance,

No one to dance with,
no one to talk to,
no one to make me feel beautiful inside and out
I'm all alone in this world...
without a soul  to protect me

Until you show up...

You came out of nowhere,
through the crowd
just to say hello to me
you take my hand, and we dance,
we dance as if no ones watching

You kiss me and I stare at you blankly,
I ask: "Why'd you do that?"
and he says: "I love you for whats on the inside, not the outside"

As we look into each others eyes
I remember what my mother always said to me:
"Inner beauty if far more beautiful than outer beauty."

I actually felt beautiful,
for the first time in my life...
and I hadn't been told a lie

I found someone to adore me
for me,
and for being just the way I am

Well planned poem. The scale is written clearly, it flows dramatically. Agree with your words too, "Inner beauty if far more beautiful than outer beauty". Now days, many people would only care on our appearences but not our personality. We need ot realiza that the way we look doesn't equals to that we're that kind of person. I love Beauty and the Beast, I learnt such a meaningful message here.

I loved the twist on the classic tale :) Good job

We all need a person like this. One to love us to what's on the inside instead of out. Many take appearences and assume the worst, shutting that person. But appearences do not make our personality. The way we look does not affect who we are as a person and people need to realize this. Plus, I love Beauty and the Beast, such a wonderful message overall.

This is sweet. It sends a powerful message to every one reading it. Inner beauty reigns over looks. One of my favorites.

beauty lies on the inside. A beautiful face does not beauty make. A wonderful piece!
