Insecurities

Facing your reflections is one of your biggest fears,

For addressing your insecurities always has you in tears.

“Look at my stomach, look at the thighs,

God, these awful dark circles under my eyes!

Look at my nose, why so big?

There is so much oil, is this an oil rig?!”

I believe, beauty lies within,

Take a moment and peek under your skin.

Inside you resides a soul so brave, yet so kind,

Helping the ones in distress is always on your mind.

A soul so sensitive, yet so strong,

You are aware of what’s right and wrong.

From comforting smile to comforting talks,

You can bring out the good from the people hiding behind the rocks.

I say, accept the truth of who you are,

For true beauty lies beneath the scar.
