Ordinarily Beautiful.

Taken every bit of love and tried to give it back,

I've always meant it well but I've stumbled on my track.

Nothing new, you've seen it all, every bit of me,

Commonly predictable, far-fetched, brilliant dreams.

At first sight, they look away, not turn a single head,

Careful with the words I say, with every way I tread.

Not spectacular, my eyes, my face, but my heart is well and fine,

Ordinary words I speak, that disappear in time.

Vulnerable, weak and strong, but I have held my faith,

I am a mixture of my thoughts and had my share of hate.

I cry at times, and I am flawed but I know my place in life,

I've made mistakes, and who's to say, I won't make them twice.

But past these faults and flaws, you'll see, a heart still beats in me,

And all it has (it has it all), my ordinary beauty.

If you ever learn to love it, you should know of this,

My mistakes are smaller than the love I have to give.

Sincere within myself, and a heart that's meaning well,

And a loving care to offer and some loving words to tell.

If you find it worth it, and if you care to see,

I'll give you all, and all I have - my ordinary beauty.
