Don't tell me I am beautiful.
The beauty is only the surface.
You don't know me
There is no beauty within.
Pain.
Resentment.
Bitter frustration.
A lifetime of disappointments.
Scars from broken dreams.
Thoughts of how life should be,
And the reality of how they are.
Anger and hatred dwell within.
So, don't tell me I am beautiful.
No beauty lies within this empty shell.
