What Kindness Makes

Am I more than just a size
               Lustrous hair or sultry eyes
Am I not what kindness makes
                   Living in a world of fakes

Am I more than skin or tone
         Yet enhanced by parts unknown
Am I not of brain or wit
                   Matters not. if I’m not fit

Since I’m not of mass appeal
                    Only of a face that’s real
Does my value carry weight
                 Happiness then set to wait

What a world that cares for nought
      Souls with pain or scarring fraught
Character, an honest choice
             Doesn’t seem to have a voice

Am I more than just a size
                 Yes, If I have opened eyes
I will have what kindness makes
              Every ounce of love it wakes
