Her

Amanda K lessig (Sunshine) 1987

She is trying so hard to recognize her worth
Something she should have known at birth
Pretty is on the inside
All we have been taught is a lie
The ugly in the world is bringing her down
Making her frown
Why are they killing?
Molesting?
Raping?
How can she stop the pain?
Only then can she smile again

    It amazes me how this poem speaks the truth about women we seldom know about or hear expressed. The real beauty of a woman comes from within. It’s kinda sad how most men don’t appreciate the inner part of a woman and just treat them so badly based on exterior designs. You inspire us men to see more and respect as well as cherish women as equals.
