I too am Beautiful by Hanna Amireh

I too, am beautiful

eyes drift over
in my direction
I have become
the main focus

staring at me
these strangers notice
that I too am
just as beautiful

uncomfortable
I turn my back
towards these people
towards their blank faces

unaware of this me
never seen before
they stand and stare

they stare at the me
I’m destined to become
the person they are growing
to love

sorrow
fades from my
inner self
I breathe easy
