She knows she is beautiful
thousands of times thusly told
it feels ingrained in her
yet it’s become so old
She’s ready to rightly give
rightly receive
but that which should bring pride
causes so many to believe
they have no chance
that that’s all she is
attractiveness welcomed sarcasm
tunnel vision away from what she ardently yearns
Looking at me with a small slice of trust
but expectations low
tipping her slender hips to the side
she seems to ask if this is also all I can see her for and know
I can see the wall that is built
described at vast length
so I ask if her hair that expands
earthy ground to great sky
eastward rising to westward set
A bed of swirling locks
ebbs from the sun in her skin
enrapturing all
invites to know the brightness within
