Skin Deep


I drove my heart
like a cow into pasture.

Hearts express
what they want to express.
Beauty, pain, redemption.

I told my husband,
I don't want to go with
to the ice cream shop,
I'm ugly and my hair is a mess.

It's up to me to love myself
and I don't.

He cried, but Lisa, you are so beautiful!

Yes, but if this is true, why can't I see it?
I'm not blind.
