I know of beauty in the need of praise For her own view of self does view defect And cannot dream that eyes adore her glaze, That needn't the sun nor light to gift effect. The social sites appear to worsen her; Perfection shown does taunt the blemished seen Her radiance a - glow then turns to blur, Until that youth becomes what has then been. Tho' shyness plagues me, ink from mine can't shy If she this sonnet read, rewrites her eyes, Then she to her own beauty can't deny, And I, her sonneteer maintain disguise.
Tho' if nearby she reads from this aloud Then may just may, she'll glance me out a cloud.
