A Beauty In Me

Written 3/25/15 All you ever see... Is a beauty in me.

I come to you
And your words are like knives
They cut me open
I completely unravel in your presence
I'm exposed here
(I can't hide behind the facade anymore)
You saw every piece of me
I was tattered and torn
Worn out
And my heart grew weak
But you never seemed to notice
The many tiny broken pieces of me
All you ever saw
Was a beauty in me
I felt like a rag doll
Standing there in front of you
Patches missing
Here and there
Falling apart at the seams
But now
Those same words
That cut me open before
(Exposing me for what I truly am)
Are now the same words
That helped replace every missing patch
And have sewn every torn seam
Because all you ever see
Is a beauty in me
(End)

Author's Note

This was inspired by something my best friend always says to me.

"All you ever saw

Life can take from us. Piece by piece. We need someone to accept where we fall and show us concern and kindness. Thank you for sharing all the amazing poetry. I needed good poetry tonight. You were my muse tonight.

You definitely got what I was trying to convey in this Coyote! Glad I could inspire you!

Oh Ashly, I can but imagine this was not an easy write. I can feel the emotions swelling inside these lines, windows to your soul. Keep your head up beautiful girl!

[GreenEyedPoet]

It's not intended to be a bad thing, it's a good thing what happened actually! It's about how from the moment I met my best friend she broke my walls down, she knows all my flaws and imperfections inside and out but no matter what all she sees is a beautiful person. :)

[~]

yes, indeed, just sometimes letting our walls down is not easy. and i am happy you have such a good friend!

[GreenEyedPoet]

It's not easy, and I did fight to keep her out lol. But eventually her always telling me she cared and wouldn't leave etc finally got to me and I let her in. :)

[andrew mitchell]

A great write and how cutting words can be . I liked the way you expressed this imagery. :)

[GreenEyedPoet]

Yes words can cut deeply sometimes, usually in a bad way though but that's not the case here thankfully! :)
Thanks for the review Andrew!

[wordman]

it`s a shame we need to be open to our loves emotions and needs not just a pretty face

[GreenEyedPoet]

This wasn't about being a pretty face, this was about how my best friend knows everything about me - every imperfection both inside and out but she sees beauty in it all.

[wordman]

pretty face was just a gesture but didn`t pick up on the friend lol

[GreenEyedPoet]

Guess you didn't see my authors note lol.

[wordman]

forgive me,i am inpatient thought it was a boy friend lol

[GreenEyedPoet]

Nope, no boyfriend for me lol.

[wordman]

well your probably better off

[GreenEyedPoet]

Haha probably, they cause to many issues lol.

[wordman]

not me, I just done what I was told if she said we like it then I did lol
you don`t believe that do you

[GreenEyedPoet]

Not all of them cause issues, but in my experience a lot of them do.

[wordman]

relationships is a give and take situation , you must respect each other
and always be ready to talk about it good nite

[GreenEyedPoet]

True. Night.

[sereenaoutloud]
