Beautiful

Am I a reflection of my physical but not my soul?
I think...in some ways I am
My skin, hair, and clothes are what peoople see...
It is what they use to define me
Am I a reflection of my physical but not my soul?
I think...in some ways I am
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul
Few have taken the time to look into my eyes in search of my soul
Instead they focus on my physical attributes...my skin, my hair, my clothes
Well that shit gets old
Does it matter if I am young or old; rich or poor? Does it matter if I am short or tall? Does it matter if I caramel or coca? Does it matter if my HAIR IS SHORT OR LONG...KINKY OR STRAIGHT?

Why is it difficult for people to see that my cup runith over with riches...and that the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And I am holding it...so the beauty is in me.

Am I a reflection of my physical but not my soul?
