Beautiful Like You

Folder: 
2001

you can't be satisfied with what you have

such talent

the most beautiful thing in my world

I feel so insignificant

with the little I've got

I dream of being like you



everytime you live your dreams

makes me want to cry

I'm so happy for you

the beautiful

but I just wish that it were me



I'll never be so pretty

never take a breath away

what can anyone find

believe

or want to see

in the invisible nobody



it's not like you push it in my face

but I'm captivated with your every move

and the more I see

pain grows in me

after I trip

I fall fast down



I'm at the bottom

and above you smile in pride

you can take the world over

I can't swim or drown



stop saying you wish you had more

at least you're not in my shoes

who walk behind the beautiful

wish to sink so soon



it's better if I fail and fall

no one will wonder what I do

I'm tired of answering my nothing

because I'm not beautiful like you

isnt it wonderful feeling like you are the lowest you can be on the scale of all thats great?! ummm NO!! i love how you express your feelings of inadiquacy, you come across very disappointed in yourself and wishing that your friend(s) could spend a day if not a few minutes in your shoes. yet you dont come across bitter or upset. i dotn know if thats what you were going for, but thats what i see. i just wrote a freakin novel, but all is good ;)

Beauty is as beauty does.////And in the poets eye.////Your vision of what beauty was.///does certainly apply,<<<>>> Unto your gentle loving heart.///And all the things you do.///I wish I could be half as smart.///And beautiful as you/<<<<<>>>>>How blessed you be, to look around.////And see through greater eyes./// To truths that others haven,t found./// And never realise.////I read and then I turned away.///Had other things to do./////And as I leave, I hope I stay.///As beautiful as you

this poem is so touching and there are lots of ppl who could relate to it. your way w/emotion is so truthful, so scary, so deep. this is really a great poem and your message of what you were saying was greatly sent! i really like this poem, it's very touching.

This is kinda sad really, because beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. For maybe you are even more beautiful to him.

So deep, so sad. You are beautiful where in matters the most. Your expression of emotion is so electrifying.
