Beauty Within

Seeing yourself through kinder eyes.

By Ruth DPublished 2 months ago • Updated 2 months ago • 1 min read

Wish I could see me through your eyes.
Wish I could see what you see.
Maybe it’s all lies,
maybe it’s what you want it to be.

Wish I could take my flaws
and throw ’em away,
see myself through a new lens
and make it okay.

Tell myself I’m beautiful
each and every day,
no matter what the voices say.

Beauty is within me,
not only what your eyes can see.
