Untouchable

[kittypaws]

I know that no one can be me.
I am unique to myself
And I do not fear others
Taking my place.
If it is beauty you fall in love with,
The gifts of facial and figure;
And not the soul that lives inside
Then I could easily lose you.
But if you love me for who
And what I am to You,
Then I am untouchable.

A curious fusion of confidence and vulnerability. The first 4 lines have the stability of immutable stone, yet the remainder of the poem reads like a prayer of hope. It's those conditional clauses, the ever present, if...

Nice little poem kitty.

Best, H

I get the feeling that there is an element of "love me for what I am, not what I look like." The point is, if the person is lovely, he or she who loves will see what they want to see, and you will be lovely in their eyes anyway. Beauty comes from within. I think that's a beautiful poem, which I am sure will echo the thoughts of anybody that has fallen in love. Thanks so much.
