I wish someone still told me

I was still beautiful

Those artistic eyes , Those soft lips,

Those  rosy cheeks , Those arched brow

Now tell a tale of sorrow

Those pretty smiles , Have gone away miles

They no longer adorn my face, they no longer add to the grace.

I wish someone still told me

I was still beautiful

Worried to walk out alone, All I can remember is my moan and groans

Covered in a veil, my face all weak and pale

Thousand faces my eyes meet, but no one bothers to greet.

My face scares them off, all they do is taunt and scoff.

Do I deserve a life like this....

I wish someone still told me this

That ,“I was still beautiful”

Wherever I go no respite for my woe

Same people and the same questions I find

The world around me is blind and unkind

They can no longer see

What it feels to  be me.

I wish someone had the eyes to see

The beauty behind the scars in me

I wish someone still told me this

“I was still beautiful”
