that which i see on the outside
is just a cover for your soul
beauty comes from deep within
i have often been told
what you look like on the outside
and the things that you can't do
the things that hurt your pride
are not the real you
i love you for what you think and feel
for me, that's the only love that's real
forget what misfortune has done in your life
and live just for today
put away all the anger, hurt, and strife
for I love you anyway
