Unmask Yourself

Forgive yourself.

She said your eyes are like mirrors

Reflective of me

But there’s something behind them

Hidden in the specs of green

Stories told

Even some written

But there’s things you hold

You still haven’t forgiven

Secrets masked behind the beauty of your smile

Jokes told to keep your composure mild

God I love the sound you make when you catch your laugh but then your face fades back so damn fast

Yet here I am still distracted by your wrinkles autograph

Never getting to see you actually crash

You share a lot

But no one's been told

The horrors you’ve seen

The treasures you stole

Things you did

Things others didn’t

But you never regret anything

Never want to go back to the beginning

Sometimes I think you are too strong

You let others see what’s behind these masks you have on

But there’s another layer of them underneath

Things forever making you feel incomplete

So you use honesty and humor to release some fiends

Take a deep breath while your mind's still clean

Lasts a few seconds because what’s beneath

Is enough to make you have those chattering teeth

Your freckles dot your face like the stars

I wish you knew how much I love who you are

How you cope is an art

Expression is something you’ll always love

And Love is something you’ll always want

You may think you love yourself

But then why are you so hard on yourself?

Why do you cause harm to yourself?

Why do think you don’t belong to yourself?

Stop looking for the answers in someone else

And finally forgive your fucking self

Let go of things you no longer are

Let the messy tangles of your hair fall to the floor

Let your acne show to the world

Let your scars speak for themselves

You are not your imperfections you are how you deal with them

You are not your past, you are are how you grew from it

You are not the opinions people have of you

You are the beauty in the yourself’s improve

That’s the real truth,

hidden..

in your,

Eye.

Love,

You
