A stranger came up to me and said to my face
"I just want to say that you're pretty." My emotions, he tried to persuade
Is that all you got? Is that all you see?
An image that is pleasing and beautiful to your eyes? Is that me?
An object to complement, admire, and then leave behind?
You didn't ask how I am, if I'm okay, or say anything to comfort my mind
I can't stand men...
Because to most of them
I am a shadow of a statue they wish to see
But will never get... I was not created to appease

...Don't get me wrong, it was a sweet compliment, but I would much rather receive it from someone who is of the Lord and means every bit of what he says because he doesn't see an image or an object. BUT A PERSON WHO THEY WILL LOVE AND CHERISH FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT I DO
