The Beauty Within

The world is truly beautiful.
With beauty found truthfully within.
It's within the the feelings, the emotions and the souls
That pour out onto the paper,
In a beautifully chaotic mess
Of black scribbled ink that dances on the pages before my very eyes.
It's within the words, the books and the poems
That deliver me into another world
As I admire the sunlight that glows soft yellow across the treetops,
Warming every fiber of my being.
It's within myself
And the beauty of saying that I can,
I can be who I am and say what I feel
In a world where I am blissfully free.
The world is truly beautiful
And I have finally found the beauty within.
