The Beautiful Stranger
With a seemingly effortless approach her presence raises eyebrows
A conversationalist with words that many would adore
A good girl that even a bad boy could not ignore
She commands respect without even demanding it
A fair weather friend she's there through thick and thin
She's appears quite comfortable glowing in her own skin
But she holds a secret within
The fact that she's afraid of her reflection would leave others in suspense
She's a stranger to her own beauty because she feels being hypercritical of herself is her duty
Let's hope for her that in the end her inner confidence will win
And a positive self image will become her best friend

Post a CommentI love it Ms. Morgan. I pray that she recognizes the queen in herself and that she portrays the effortless presence in public with sure confidence. Speaking up and out of what's in her mind helps as well. KUDOS young lady!
