blurry eyed and blank faced
blank eyed and blurry faced
you don't see your beauty there
you don't see the sunshine reflecting off your hair
you don't see the stars mirrored in your eyes
you don't see the laughter in the moments when you forget to keep up your guard
you don't see the way you look through the eyes of the stranger across the room
if you could only see for a moment the way you look through the eyes of those who love you
if you could only see yourself through the eyes of the One created and loved and formed every part of you that you have learned to hate
you are blind to the glow behind your skin
the fire in your eyes
the light in your wildly gorgeous being
you don't see the way you look through the haze of a thousand memories
of the hair in your face
of the bleary eyes framed by your lashes
of the hands dirty from hard work
of the eyes creased from too much laughter
you are more beautiful than you ever could've imagined
in a thousand ways you've never begun to understand
promise me you won't ever forget that
the light inside you > the shadow inside your mirror

Love love love
