A beauty within

Song of Solomon 1:5-6 NASB
"I am black but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon. "Do not stare at me because I am swarthy, For the sun has burned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me caretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.

I am not beautiful by any standards. I have dark circles under my eyes no matter how much sleep I get, my hair wild and curly, my skin often dry.....
I have wasted so much time conforming myself attitude wise to be soft spoken and nice, but the reality of who I am is brutally honest to the point of being tactless. I have though stopped trying to please the males of human kind, I still find myself among women and churchfolk bending over backwards to be kind to have a good reputation among them.
I don't know what will come of me but I am seeing through prayer and scripture meditation that God through His Holy Spirit will change that in me, both my attitude and the fear of man.
