Girl from a dream

She may be good looking
or she may not
Whatever God gave her
She's happy with what she got


She knows what she wants
And she don't take no shit
She can see the good things
But doesn't hang onto the bad bits


And that signature style
Curly locks that flow
Or sometimes gone frizzy
But that's fine y'know


Her humour is cheeky
She likes a good rib
Telling me my flaws
But, she's fun with it


I'm not sure she's out there
But if I had the chance
I'd take her by the hand
And start a new dance

Truth and Beauty

Some people want to see the beauty in things
I want to see the truth
Beauty can be used to disguise anything
Truth allows you to appreciate a thing for what it is
I don't want the consolation prize of 'at least it looks good'
I want to know i've actually found what I was looking for in the first instance
I want to know my motives were correct to begin with
And if they weren't then I want the chance to change that
When I get what I want and i'm not sure I'm right
How can I be happy with the embodiement of something I didn't really know I wanted
I need to peel back the layers where beauty makes it's home
In the world around me
And more difficultly
Myself
The truth is that people often lie to make themselves more beatiful
Lying not just to others but to their own hearts first
I am my own enemy in my search for the truth

The Smile

The radiant, wide-toothed smile that says she's happy and enjoying herself.

It says she's not thinking about her self-esteem. About how she feels inferior to everone else.

It says she's relaxed in a way she can't be with anyone else.

The smile means the end of tears that were borne of depression, shed from a sense of unworthiness.

It's the dawn of a new day not the gathering clouds of a storm.

Her smile is the most beautiful thing.
