RE: The Beauty Beyond (Original Poem)

in #poetry7 years ago

Very nice!

Because fake smothers beauty in coats of insecurity

It's up to us, alone, to embrace,
the ugliness we cannot face

These lines really stood out to me.
I have been pondering a lot lately the interplay between having a loving, supportive community that can aid you in reconnecting with those misplaced pieces. But, how, like you said, the ultimate embrace of ourselves has to come from us.

Good words. Thanks for sharing.

I think this is actually very important. It doesn't even need to be a community. Just having one person who knows you well and can notice when you're selling yourself or being unnecessary unloving, can create huge gains in awareness and help you shift your relationship with yourself. Or even a person who just sees you in a more loving light than you do, they can help you appreciate what you see for granted.

So true. It doesn't matter what anyone else sees in us. If we deny it in ourselves, it will still feel out of place and unloved.

Always appreciate chatting with you, and where your mind leads mine to think!

The feeling is mutual, friend.
