THE BEAUTY WITHIN

There’s a vessel with a chest,

It held a treasure for 24 years

There’s a silver armor,

A knight fought many battles inside it

There’s a body craved in perfection,

but these people are not from Krypton,

They are not like Superman

They can’t see through objects

They can imagine to what’s on the inside of the chest

They see the armor, but not the knight

They see the body, but can’t see the heart pumping blood and love.

Limitations to their eyes and mind

Here I stand, atop my castle

To many, it’s beautiful

but that’s outside

This king is a lonely king

because people only see what’s on the outside

Will they ever see the beauty within

or will they forever be…

on the outside looking in?
