Beautiful

10/22/2018

I know you don’t see it.

I know you never did

Everyone has told you

But you never seem to listen.

You’ve heard if trim your mother

You’ve heard it from your dad

Your friends have told you many times

But it never does sink in.

Your mirror always lies to you

And then it warps your mind.

You should know that it is wrong

And the rest of us are right.

A blade was taken to your skin

To change the things you saw

It could not change your heart within

You cannot change it all.

My dear you are perfection

Always have been always will be.

One day when you are whole again

You’ll realize you’re beautiful.
