True Beauty

As I touch the back of my skull I can feel every inch of your face.
You are there like an unwanted tattoo.

From your coffee colored hair,
To your deep amber eyes.
That awkward bumpy nose,
And that smile that makes me shiver.

I try to force you so far out of my mind,
You have no space left.
There you sit and wait,
In the back of my skull.
You’re hidden under layers of thick flesh,
Hidden so well that no one else can detect you.
As you sit there and wonder,
“When”,
“When will you discover me,
For my true beauty?”
