I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
That's something I already know
A fact that I sometimes forget
But its embedded deep in my soul
I'm not going to lie and say
it isn't nice to hear it once in a while
That when pretty words are spoken
that I don't giggle or smile
But I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty
That my voice is the sweetest sound
My skin is soft as spun silk
Or my beauty knows no bounds
For what you see with your eyes
Isn't what I hold true
My beauty is not judged with sight
My beauty is not judged by you.
I don't need you to tell me i'm pretty
Cause thats all you see
The superficial coating
on a magnificent piece of me.
By Me.
