Changes

Teeth;
straightening.
Used to be crooked;
makes me happy.
I am nearing
nicer teeth,
and now
I can smile without being
so embarassed.

Hair;
got it cut.
and it gave me
confidence
that I too,
could be beautiful
if I tried
hard
enough.

Everything
finally
seems to be falling
into place for me.

But it isn't,
because
I know I can't be beautiful.
But I still keep trying
even though
beauty
is not
on the outside.

i really like the theme in this piece.

It is true what they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all as individuals have our own inner beauty, but sometimes we just don't see it.

a very realistic poem. I particularly loved the last stanza. Good job on this.
Thanks for the read
