superficiality

I don’t know if I like all of this attention,
and just feeling like a piece of meat,
but at least it gives me the opportunity
to be seen and looked at closely.

And there are those,
who might take a little extra time
to look inside, and see
just what it is I be.

Those will be the ones,
who can see in what I am,
the value I impart.

Once you fall in love
with the inside,
what is outside
only becomes secondary.

So I’ll play this little game
that the world demands
as I journey this journey,

to get to were
everlasting love might be,
as I hope and pray,
that I can find a love so true.

One that will know,
and so easily see,
what a grand prize
she has found in me,
and know just what to do.

Love me forever,
and leave me never.
