It doesn’t make sense to call
ourselves ugly, because we
don’t really see ourselves. We
don’t watch ourselves sleeping
in bed, curled up silent with
our chests rising & falling with
our own rhythm. We don’t see
ourselves reading a book,
eyes fluttering and glowing.
You don’t see yourself looking
at someone with love and care in
your heart. There’s no mirror in
your way when your laughing
and smiling and pure happiness
is leaking out of you. You would
know exactly how bright and
beautiful you are if you saw
yourself in the moments
where you are truly yourself.
