Something Beautiful

July 27, 2020

When they made you And I saw you coming I smiled at you Because I knew you were beautiful

You were elegant Unexpected Something to remember Something to live by

But they weren't satisfied They put makeup on you Told you that you didn't conform to their standards

I was shocked to see what they did to you All because they didn't understand what they'd made

Now your smile's fake There's misery in your eyes You hate what they did But you want to be beautiful

That beauty's still there So I'll keep smiling in the hopes that one day you'll realize That you're still something beautiful
