You Are Beautiful

You Are Beautiful

it does not matter,
how far
you have travelled
or the title of your job
these things
do not,
determine your worth
you have been you
since your birth
accumulating experience
and,
they are the roads and places
you have travelled
and given you stories to tell
even,
when we have fallen
there is never any shame
when we fall
do not let others appear more worldly
you can walk tall
you are beautiful
in a way,
that perhaps i know
and i sure others do and others see it
