how can you ever call yourself ugly
when you've never really seen yourself
in the way eyelashes flutter and rest on pale skin
in the way tears lay, peaceful on smooth cheeks
the moment you blink and the little droplets fall,clinging to your lashes
and the way your eye and nose crinkle when you laugh, freely, carefree
and the smile that comes naturally to you around certain people.
the way your hair falls into your eyes when you're sitting
bent over a book, lost, quiet
like you're trying to hide your lovely face
the way you run {from yourself, maybe}
like there's nothing stopping you.
the way your cheeks glow pink in the cold winters
the way your chest rises and falls as you sleep at night
the life inside of you.
you don't see yourself singing softly
you don't see yourself in the little moments
where you are truly beautiful because you are happy.
there's no mirror in front of you when you're talking to that special someone
the way you stammer slightly and blush shyly
the way your eyes smile.
you for see yourself in the moments
that show, you are alive
breathing
beautiful.
