Yesterday's Beauty She's got long blonde hair And eyes of blue She has a perfect mouth And legs to her neck Beautiful proportion You can see But there is disfigurement In this rare beauty As that's all she has It's all she can use To get by Her real self she hides But take a closer look The inperfection is seen Like a disease She's shallow She's fickle Her beauty Is her sight And so are you If you cannot see The shallowness That she has When her looks Give excuses To the way she treated Anyone of inferior quality But her precious look Is only skin dep True beauty comes From within the heart And shines Upon the world's image Of ugly That is pure beauty The naked eye Cannot see So groom your spirit Take care of the needy And tell the greedy Their bitch is ugly This much I know Because I have grown Through her Can I Now show you The way. � Elizabeth 3rd August, 1995 "This poem is about me in my shallow youth. I'm a lot nicer now"
