See yourself as I do. Category: Writing and Poetry
As you look at yourself in the mirror what do you see? Do you see every physical flaw that taints the worlds perseption of you? Do you see the emptiness being filled or losing its contents? Can you see an inner beauty that blurts out "I have a heart of gold"?
When I look into your eyes know this: I am looking for what is under your shield and in your heart. I look to see if the color of it is gold. Then I notice if it is a shiny gold or a fading gold. I look for that inner beauty that shallow people never see. Then I look for every flaw that is within you not the physical. When i find the flaws within I then look for the physical flaws because they make me like you more. Then I think about how I can contribute to the filling of the emptiness and not the latter. I have just touched your soul and now you can feel what it is like to be truely noticed, to see yourself as I do! | |
