These Words Scream

Beauty within

She doesn't understand her beauty inside
So she cries
All the tears that fall from her eyes
And the pain she tries to hide

A few know about her thoughts
And the scars on her body
From the people who taunt

She wants to stop her only relief
But with all the grief
She feels within
It's harder to stop
Then it is to begin

Her parents don't understand
So they just shout
And make her feel even more worthless
And full of doubt

She tried to explain a thousand times
But is never able to seem to find
What will make them listen
Instead of fight

So this poem is ending
Let's find an alternative
From the sharp tools across our skin
And hopefully you will notice
All the beauty within
