If I looked at myself

The way others saw me

If I saw myself

As another person

I would probably find a new hope

I would see the same things

but in a new way

All the things I try to hide

The things I cover up

Those flaws and imperfections

may disappear

Though they are still there, they will lose all importance

I will find in myself a new love

I will fall in love with all the things I can not find beautiful

I would not criticize

I would not bully

I would look at the girl before me in awe

I would support her and uplift her

I would not look at tiny details and laugh

I would know it is not my place to judge every inch of this person

Her flaws would be unimportant

Her imperfections near invisible

If I looked at myself

The way others saw me

If I saw myself

As another person

I would probably find a new hope

I would see the same things

but in a new way

I would see the value of me
