I'd Rather A Lovely Heart Than A Lovely Face

I'd rather have scars on my cheeks
   And a crooked nose and 
Bad skin and boney hips
   Or boring eyes and boring hair and a boring mouth 
And someone tell me 
   “You’re beautiful,”

Because I’d know they meant
   I am beautiful in the way that I talk,
In the way that I listen, in the way that I love,
   In the way that I am

Than have

   Pretty lips and pretty teeth and 
Pretty hair and a pretty nose
   And ignorantly believe 
That being beautiful in the way that I look 
   Is enough.”
