Beautiful

Beautiful, even when no one else is looking. You're beautiful now. You always will be beautiful. You always have been beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not. Don't let your own eyes deceive you. Don't let words nor thoughts strike you down. I see you as you truly are. Beautiful beyond compare. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Do you know what that means exactly? Everything is beautiful, deformities, abnormalities, bruises, scars both seen and unseen, perfection.... So trust in me, resist the temptation that will bring you down, Because if you go down, I'm surely to go down alongside you. I love you. Even if you don't see beauty, there will always be someone else who does. Always. Believe me. Believe me to save me. Believe me even when I don't believe in myself. Because if you're not beautiful then who is? Not me that's for damn sure. If you are, then aren't I? Let me be beautiful too, please. Let me love you until you learn to love yourself. Scratch that. He got it wrong. Let me love you even after and forevermore. You're my friend and always will be. Let me love you. Period. You are you, do you know what that means? It means you are beautiful. Inside and out. If you doubt it, look in the mirror through my eyes. I'd gladly tear them out for your better vision. Hold out your palm. Take them. Here they are. But be gentle. They're fragile. Seen too much. Felt too much... But it's ok. This isn't about me. It's about you. Back to you. Point is, Love yourself or no one else will... Except me. Remember that.
