I want to be captivating
I want to be bright
I want to make you laugh
I want to bring tears to your eyes
I want to have something to offer 

That doesn’t fade with time

Short, sweet and simple yet tells so much about what we as women, have to deal with at one point or another in our lives. So relatable.

Nice work.. Definitely a powerful piece showing the inner strength.

You can't want what you already have/are. It's not your fault if other people can't see that which stares them directly in the face and in their search for the fleeting superficial, they will miss out on a lifetime of all kinds of hidden treasures.

This is beautiful and completely true. You reversed what so many want, and have given it meaning. I really loved it!

Your poem is beautiful reflecting your inner beauty.  I love it, especially those last three lines.  Thanks, Maria!  Keep adding to your beauty by your writing.

All those things are what makes someone beautiful, personality matters most.

You may not want to be beautiful however there is more than outward looks that makes a person beautiful, beauty comes in many forms and a lot of it is from within and one written word from a beautiful soul is precious indeed , so your more beautiful than you know you have a gift which is shared through not only personality but through your writing
