I'm not as beautiful as you think I am
My skin once fair and smooth as cream,
now has the characteristics of leather
with crevasses and lines distorting the once supple view.

My hair was thick and lush.
It hung like waves of amber silk
but now it is thin and brittle like shafts of straw.

My Body once ample with coveted seduction
Now is ravaged by the war of birth.
Ripped and torn beyond recognition of its youth.

My mind which was innocent and pure once saw joy every were in the world.
Now it is twisted and darkened by life.
No longer pure
No longer innocent
It is tainted with flawed thinking and lies
Causing me to fall from grace time after time.

My heart held so much love and hope,
but it now lusts and is left wanton for things it need not grasp
It sits in judgment of false perception.
Feeling cold and alone at times.

My eyes how ever hold the truth of me.
They are my window.

You see I'm not as beautiful as you think I am
because I am more beautiful than you can comprehend.

I am More powerful than the pull of the moon,
Deeper than the void,
Brighter than a supernova,
As immortal as creation,

I am in the tides of the ocean,
the wind,
the rain,
the lighting,
and all the colors of the sunset.

I am the soft breeze that caresses your face,
The dew that glitters upon blades of grass at dawn,
the Joy in the butterfly who plays on the wind,
And the loving words that flow from your lips,

I am the beating of every heart.
I am a connection among every soul.
I am all of these things and more
  And So are you.

We are not as beautiful as we think we are we are so much more.
This Piece was inspired by :iconjonjon13:
But it is dedicated to all who might stumble upon it and read it. Read as though it was written to you. Thats how I meant it to be.
It's not perfect I know. Its not supposed to be.


:heart: Enjoy :heart:
