I wish you would look into my eyes and not the mirror to see how beautiful you are,
Radiating even more without make-up.
Listen to yourself through my ears when you speak,
So much power and vision behind your words yet you speak with no conviction.
I yearn for you to see the beauty and uniqueness in your skin yet you struggle to stay in it.
Feel my heart, see it crack and bleed at the thought of you being non-existent
Yet you cannot wait to leave earth
When will you realise that you are already enough?
Oh dear, how lost you are lost in people’s voices
Drowning in a sea of strangers’ voices
Deaf to the sound of your own
You move left, right, up and down dancing to the sound of everyone’s voice but yours
Dearly beloved, snap out of this spell
The world needs you in all your glory.
You are beautiful. You are enough.
Please wake up.
I have never truly heard my own voice whenever I listen, theirs always seem to drown mine out. I retreat behind oversized clothing; they call it style, but for me, it’s a quiet attempt to conceal the folds I carry. I fear the mirror, not because of its reflection, but because of the person I see staring back.Maybe your eyes will be my mirror for a change 🪞🥰
