My Best Feature

I asked my friend this afternoon,

As I gazed into my reflection,

What she thought of what she saw.

She said, "Images are usually misconceptions."

I started to put down my appearance

Wishing I was thinner or taller.

She looked at me with understanding eyes saying

"Superficial wishes only make you smaller."

I knew she was right

But who was she to talk?

For she was every guys dream.

I tried to point this out to her,

She replied, "Appearances aren't always what they seem."

"Tell me 5 features you admire in yourself."

And I knew my troubles had just begun.

I could see the hurt in her expression when I couldn't eve think of one.

I couldn't think if a single feature I liked,

And I could feel my stomach slowly start to sink.

So I turned to my friend and simply said,

"Well what do you think?"

"I think your looking at it all wrong," she said. "And I wish I could make it clearer. It's what's inside that makes you beautiful, and not what you see in a mirror."
