her sins roll down her face in tears
sliding across the bridge of her nose
enhancing her freckles
and falling into the curve of her lips
she stood in front of a mirror
on a scale measuring her weight
as the red line moved higher and higher
she could feel her heart drop lower
looking into her incredible eyes
she fell into the trap of lies
of judgement and sadness
crying until there was no more left in her
lifting her head up and moving the hair that stuck to her face
her beautiful eyes looked over her appearance
and slowly but truly
learned to accept it, learned to love it as it was
now smiling,
her day bright
and soul white
she loved herself
and realized that was all it took to happiness
loving yourself
who you really are
on the inside

this is about a conversation i was having with @hazcentral about loving yourself. if you're searching for happiness, first search for love, inside of you, for you. :))
