You're Not Pretty

You're not pretty

You're not like the everyday woman

You don’t have ordinary features

You are breathtaking

You have fought silent battles

Smiled through rejection

Given your last away even when you needed it,

Cried at midnight while the world was asleep.

And then you rise before the sun awakes from its slumber and you pray to God

Not for yourself, but for your loved ones.

Then the world tells you you're pretty!

You're not!

You're soulful, ethereal, Stunning

And yes you are Beautiful.
