You said there was no beauty within you,
You were a candle devoid of spark,
So you set all your feelings on fire,
In hopes it would light up your dark.
You said there was no beauty within you,
You were an ocean whose depths had run dry,
So you filled all the cracks in your laughter,
With a flood of the tears you would cry.
And I wish that the beauty within you,
Hadn’t caused you to view life with doubt,
Because you said there was no beauty within you,
But there sure is no beauty without.
