Beautiful

Of the many hidden things in my heart,one is to know I am beautiful.
Of course, not in a haughty way,
not in a vain, above others way.
Just to know I am accepted,
simply for who I am.
Created this way, fighting it
is just silly.
So to know that, when I have accepted,
and others accept me as well....
That is a thing to bring confidence,
and determination to continue.
To know I'm a treasure,
not lost in the crowd.
To know such a thing
brings a smile to my face.
