It's very easy for people today to see themself in a negative light. Unfortunately, I know this because of the fact that I am one of those people. This is a small poem I wrote about how we may not see what makes us shine to others and that we are beautiful.

You're not ugly

You just don't get to see yourself at your best

You only see the reflection of you

Of how you feel when you're forced to see yourself

You don't see your smile gleam when you talk about your pets

How much you glow when you pull out your guitar

How your mere voice pulls the entire room into a peaceful trance

And the way your eyes twinkle when we joke around or do a silly dance

You're an absolute beauty

And I wish I could give you these eyes to see yourself the way I do

Cause I'd happily go blind

If I could still be with beautiful you

And how you make me feel beautiful too
