See me
Not for my beauty
But for my words
The millions of things
That pour out of my soul
See me
For I am not worth
A thousand diamonds
Or rubies
Or sapphires I don't possess
I am worth the ink on my skin
Expressing knowledge
And youth
And passions I have
See me
For who I am
For what I stand for
Don't look at these pearls
For I will not wear them
Or the perfume
that leaks with popularity
Or the fake smiles
With lies above them
You need to see me
For my words in my soul
Not the beauty that skins me
