She Doesn't Know She's Beautiful - Poem
79She doesn't know she's beautiful
It's in the way she walks, she talks
The way she moves when she thinks no one is looking
The way she tilts her head when she laughs
She doesn't know she's beautiful
But this beauty isn't just about physical appearance
It's about her soul
She has such a gentle heart
Caring for everyone around her
And this is what creates that beauty
She doesn't know she's beautiful
And I'm not the only one who sees
There are few among us who recognize it
Staring amazed as she passes
Not knowing what makes us stare
She's an amazing girl
With a heart more pure than you can know
But it's difficult when all you see is the outside shell
Hiding nearly everything she is
Covering up the beauty
You're Beautiful!!!
I want to scream, to shout
To make her understand
But she doesn't know she's beautiful
She doesn't know she's wonderful
She thinks beauty lies in clothing, makeup, jewelry
She thinks it lies in her appearance
She doesn't realize how wrong she is
She doesn't realize that true beauty
Comes from within
She doesn't know she's beautiful
She doesn't know that some would give the world
To see her smile just for them
To see her open up and let the beauty free
To see her comfortable with all that she is
Wait for the one who can see you for that beauty
Wait for the one who can see past the mask
Past the clothing, and makeup, and stuff
That fill up your life
And fill up your heart
Because no matter what
You're beautiful
I mean it with all my heart
You're more beautiful than you imagine
And knowing it's the hardest part

There are so many people in this world who don't realize just how beautiful they really are. I was originally writing this poem about myself. My boyfriend tells me I'm beautiful and I just don't see it, but he insists. And I know it must be true because there have been a few times where he's told me he was awestruck when he saw me. That he was starstruck when he came around the corner. Who uses words like that unless they're true.
If only more people could realize just how beautiful they really are. If only more people could see the beauty in others and let them know that they see it. If everyone could see the beauty in everyone else the world would be a very beautiful place.
Contribute to the beauty. Tell someone they look nice, give a compliment about something other than looks. The media today tells us beauty is in appearances. It isn't. Beauty is in your heart, your spirit, your soul. That is what makes a person beautiful.
This reminds me of a quote I saw once...
If he calls you hot he's looking at your body. If he calls you pretty he's looking at your face. If he calls you beautiful he's looking at your heart.

Love this poem....I needed it today
Great poetry. As a poet myself, I can see and hear the words clearly. A very unique writing you have here. You have a gift and a kind heart, which is what I take out of the words that you have written. Truly beautiful, inside to out. Great piece.
This is such a wonerfully BEAUTIFUL poem!!! Alot of people could learn something from this...I bow to you...lovely work of art!
Very nice poem. This reminded me of the song "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" by Sammy Kershaw. It's country, don't know if you've heard of it or not but it's a good song about the same thing you're talking about.
This is the chorus:
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
i really loved that !!!!!!!!
Its beautiful,I agree that beauty comes from within, if only everybody saw it that way.
I really and I do mean really love this poem.
