He knows what makes you beautiful.

He can see your inner beauty,

He doesn’t quite understand why you can’t see?

He knows you used a mask made of foundation,

Mascara, amplifies you’re insecurity,

But he is not fooled, for he sees you for who you are,

The one you’re so desperate to hide.

You’re the only one he has eyes for,

So what are you waiting for?

Excellent, love the line mascara amplifies ..insecurity.

this is a forward thinking piece about beauty having little to do with externals, and much more to do with the magnetism of spirit. i appreciate the double-spacing throughout the piece, it lends the structure a spacious tone. nice write.

I love this poem. It tells about inner beauty which I think a lot of people forget about. Keep on writing your awesome

Good point. Well written. Why hide indeed. From the one who loves you or the world for that matter. Kudos for the fact that you recognise that.

I wish every man was like this... Not one that whistles because you're wearing a short skirt, or he's just horny. Great work on something that is rare and sweet.

Very true sentiments. Great poem Jenn. You always manage to convey such emotion in so few words. Love it.

Oh, I like this! I love that mask of foundation and mascara amplifies your insecuity. Bravo, you go, girl! I know, I always want to change something! I wanted the last line to say, "So, why aren't you by his side"?
The last line just didn't get it for me! Excellent write!
