Deceitful Eyes

You are beautiful because of the person you are inside. It shows on the outside when you start to believe that.

Can you tell me how it’s possible that people say
Not to trust their eyes?
And yet they look into the mirror, pointing out their flaws
Not even thinking to look past the lies.
They see deformities and problems,
Where only skin and hair reside.
They add pounds where none exist
Until they’ve lost every ounce of pride.
Our eyes all play tricks
In more ways then one
It does not have to be dark
To see imperfections where there are none.
You are beautiful with that smile,
And handsome with that grin,
But I wish you would show them off
It shows when you are confident in your own skin.

Author's Note

I hope you all take this poem to heart and I hope you enjoy reading. It was very important for me to write about this because I am never usually happy with the way I look and not everyone has a person to tell them they are beautiful. Tell me what you think!

Well if nobody’s told you I’m telling you you are BEAUTIFUL inside and out- every flaw makes perfection- yes sad how we don’t love ourselves enough to see our beauty but then again the world is a critical place but yes the eyes lie many a time- beautiful point put across here-🌹

Self love is so important. We should learn to love ourselves for who we are. We should learn to love the person that's reflected back when we look in the mirror. I loved your poem dear. It is beautiful.
