Beauty within

I watch as the clouds descend, for tonight , I am my only friend, bitter cold breeze caresses my skin, as I ponder, the moon throws a gentle grin. To shape my world, from what they see, from what I hear, and what they believed, I couldn't care less, yet I'm not relieved, validation from the unknown, A silent torment I've always borne What a shame it must be, to betray what dwells within me, to not acknowledge and to lie, to be so disgraceful of a guy. To not be who I am meant to be, to have a heart yet to not feel, to have eyes yet to not see, the very beauty that lies within me.
