I see myself as an eagle strong
soaring over the skies and dancing with clouds
I see myself as the bell in the steeple
pealing clear, strong, and bright through the warm summers day
I see myself as a fairy or sprite
dancing past waterfalls as I weave silver webs
I see myself as a bird in the trees
being free and in song, washing all pain away
I see myself as Lady Liberty
setting hope into hearts for a new dawn and day
But all you can see is the face in the mirror
and turn me away with a wave of your hand
You can only see the exterior level
Ignoring the Beauty tucked inside of me
You can say that I'm nerdy, unpretty, uncool
Just jeer, yell, and scoff, I don't care
all that I need are my books and my knowledge
and of the Beauty tucked down inside me.
I know that I'm Lady Liberty.
