Image for the poem beautiful

beautiful

 
don't look at me I will burn in the emptiness
I see your soul gazing out at me
knowing I can't connect with you

reaching across time to be where you are
cruelly you don't see the beauty in me
I ache in regret not being what you want
my heart swells then hurts
it's just a charade, my self esteem

I feel less than in your eyes
my vulnerability shines
I shy away from your cold glare
where I am examined by steel
my soul disregarded
you see what I should be
not what I am

in the stillness of my being
I know what you don't
I am beautiful the way I am
no, don't look at me
you will never know me

I left pieces of my ego
in your cup of regret
drink it down with your arrogance

my brilliance glows
while your attraction fades
