She

She is who she is....She is what she is!!
Though the world wants her to be someone else
When she looks in her mirror she is discouraged
The sight that beholds her is not what the world wants her to be hold
Her features are far different from what is deemed beautiful
But she is who she is and she cannot change that

She is who she is....She is what she is!!
Your looks don't depict who you are.. her seniors affirm her
but the same always look in awe at the magazine cover photos with the gorgeous faces
They all heap sums of praises at the beauty that lies before them
Yet they have the guts to tell her that she is ok the way she is
Angry thoughts sorround her every time her image looks back at her from the mirror
She is just an average looking girl
But she is who she is and she cannot change that

She is who she is....She is what she is!!
She does not know that she has been blessed in many other ways
She does not know that there are lots who would wish to be like her
She does not know that there lots who admire her and would do anything to fit in her shoes
She does not know that there is more to life than having the standard looks
She does not know that she is far more precious to those who cherish her
Yes, she is who she is and she cannot change that BUT she is just how she is supposed to be...nothing more, nothing less
Just Perfect!!

She is who she is and she cannot change that
but she is PERFECT that way!!

Poet's note: I wrote this poem for all the young girls out there who think they aint beautiful enough. And I wanted to show them that there is much more to life than mere looks and that they are beautiful just the way they are.
