Skin Deep




she fills the room with presence

empty space disappears

when she walks into the room

all eyes are now on her

her beauty hangs transfixed

on the strangers' faces

she knows she's beautiful 

but how she wishes

someone, anyone

would see beyond the perfect figure and perfect hair

if anyone just peered into her eyes

they'd see a girl

that wants to be "seen"

the room she fills

is full of loneliness 

but no one sees it

they just see what they want to see

what is only skin deep
