Beauty with Her Eyes Closed

She doesn’t see herself
not today
not yesterday
but she will soon

She will see her value
she will find her worth
she will soon love all the flaws that she didn’t love at first

She won’t be afraid of loneliness
she won’t be afraid of failure
she won’t follow the dark shadows of temptation
And she won’t backtrack into her habits because of her fear to face in

the silent battles won’t hurt as bad
she’ll get through it
and losing a love won’t sting
She won’t give a man the power to hurt or her
Or in fact any other human being

And she will see her beauty
that was hidden beneath her pain and scars
And her eyes will be open
There you are

Pure Beauty
