Golden Heart

A Poem by Beautiful Mistake

Who you really are is in your heart and mind not on your face

I may be a poor man but I'm rich inside

You may be able to buy a ticket to see the world from the skies

For if you see the world through my eyes

I have seen the dark in the light

Walked through fire while feeling the wind

I see the brightest diamonds in the thickest ash

True beauty is hidden in the world waiting to be found

Love of life is free without trying to buy a key to what they are blind to

For the greatest prize is the golden heart

And the love that's inside not boastful pride

You may be rich but I'm richer inside

Great piece here. Love the truth this poem speaks and the way you say "I" and "you" as if speaking directly to the people in which you are comparing yourself to. I feel this poem can help people reflect on their morals and character a bit. My favorite lines were "For the greatest prize is a golden heart
And the love that's inside not boastful pride."
I feel those lines got the idea of the whole poem across in the best and most direct way.

Thank you for the wonderfully thought provoking poetry, keep it up!
