She was beautiful But she couldn’t see it She was talented But didn’t believe it She was loved But couldn’t feel it She was fearful You could smell it She was appreciative But couldn't show it She was smart But didn’t know it She wasn’t blind She was scarred Her wounds deep So deep they couldn’t heal Time may heal wounds But love healed these She had to love herself Before loving another Slowly she saw How pretty she was Her talents She explored She was loved And appreciated it She’s still afraid But she’ll be okay Her scars are a map To the woman she is today
