Light reflects towards my pale face –
Showing me the image I’m most embarrassed of
Ugly, Repulsive
That’s the way I was taught.
How could I ever be seen as beautiful?-
The eyes
The nose, the face.-
Come together to form some type of abstract puzzle,
One that no one has been able to decipher
Why would they want to?
The only difference I see now,
Are the faint lines that have started to develop upon my forehead –
And the sides of my mouth
Lines of me aging
Lines that have formed through the pain-
And have been left behind
The sun warms my body as I walk away from the river, through the meadow.
Beautiful flowers every where cause my heart to soften
The rays penetrate my skin and wrap around me –
It’s been so long seen we had last met.
Children run past me –
Playing games and laughing,
Without a single care in the world-
I remember those times –
Far in the distance
The moments of happiness and love
Moments when I was once-
Accepted
Showing me the image I’m most embarrassed of
Ugly, Repulsive
That’s the way I was taught.
How could I ever be seen as beautiful?-
The eyes
The nose, the face.-
Come together to form some type of abstract puzzle,
One that no one has been able to decipher
Why would they want to?
The only difference I see now,
Are the faint lines that have started to develop upon my forehead –
And the sides of my mouth

Lines that have formed through the pain-
And have been left behind

Beautiful flowers every where cause my heart to soften
The rays penetrate my skin and wrap around me –

Without a single care in the world-
I remember those times –
Far in the distance
The moments of happiness and love
Moments when I was once-
Accepted
