Beautiful

My hair is not long, in fact, its as short as short can be,
my eyes are not blue, they are brown, but they feel the deepest of blue somedays,
though im not really sad, mostly quite chipper,after morning caffeine, goes without saying...
not overly tall, average i'd say,
but my head can over see mountaines some days,
not over weight, but the emotions I carry could surely tip a scale,
somedays I go out and heads will turn, but in my mind,
I fear their eyes I mostly burn,
lack of self confidence only hits me sometimes
but if you want fears, I have plenty!
I have clevage, but not in the way you think,
its hy heart strapped on the outside of my chest,
and not knowing what the whole world thinks,
my husband thinks Im beautiful, even says im hot,
but my warped way of thinking, I say,
"its just part of your sexual plot"
but I know he loves me, not knowing why?
Ive sometimes been mistreated, even as a girl,
and often misunderstood, Ive never had the love I understood
I have witts and smarts to most unknown,
I don't sit and judge , its just how I make it around,
I will force for you a smile, even if its not real,
as quick as you blink, I can turn it into a frown
prettty I would say not, its not me,
I would love to tell that girl she's beautiful, we all have our turn,
that girl who is me,
but would she believe me, I don't know,
we all have our insecurities I guess
Ive just showed you mine,
my biggest fear is not just growing old,
but growing old without my boy by myside,
we all have doubts and fears we hide,
I just took you to my secret place,
of me, inside

inside my heart

If you could see into my past you may not like who you see
I did alot of things at such a young age, would be anything but smiled upon,
but if you looked into my heart, you would see, I was just a girl, trying to find my way, just wanting someone to be proud of her, love her.
I didn't always make good decisions, I tried things for the life of me I have no idea why, I hurt people not even wanting to, people hurt me, not sure if they were even aware.
But if you look into my present you will see, who I was back then has made me who I am today, you may not like who you see, I lived a life back then, today I have no regerets, but memories.
if you look into my heart you will see, 3 of the most beautiful children, who I try everyday to make them the best person they can be, I want them to outshine the person I use to be, and to be bigger then I am today, I want them to accomplish so much more.
when you look at me, you see a mom with 3 kids, one with special needs, you look at me and see someone to feel sorry for, you feel pitty, but look through my eyes, and you will see what I see, a life very complete, a very proud mom, with 3 kids who I couldn't love more, a boy with special needs, who has brought out a strength in me, I never knew I was capable of having, he orgonizes a part of my brain that is otherwise scattered, he fills my heart that before him, was searching for someone more to love, he fills that part of me that I thought noone could ever love.
Look into my future, I don't know what you may see, But I no longer feel the need to run from that girl I use to be, I will move foward in a walking motion, with memories I can bring with me, but have no shame, judge me, you might, but you can't say im not doing it right.
If you look into my heart Im a much kinder person but harsh and tough when I need to be, but still can be soft and I cry for reasons sometimes I don't even know...but
before I close my eyes at night, I think I made it through another day, and I pray that tomorrow we can too,
you look at my face, it always looks the same, maybe a smile if your lucky, they don't come easy,
but if you could see inside my heart you would see the mom, who tries as ahe might, and only hope she takes care of her boy right, but what will happen come that fateful day?? Its a world of fear where that part of my heart lives all alone, so before judging one, just try to first understand...
