Dear Beautiful

Dear Beautiful:

From then until now

Your scars still show

Your tears are dried

and when people speak

it hurts.

Dear Beautiful:

You think you are so unnatractive

You think that weight, status

and a better face

will make people turn their ways.

But, Dear Beautiful:

You are wrong

What eyes can't see

and hands can't touch

is what makes you

the most beautiful of them all.

<p>This is for all who have ever felt ugly or not good enough. For everyone whose past , present or future is painful. For all that have been left breathless due to experiences they went through.  I just wanted to say that you are all beautifully brave , unique in ways words can't describe. Don't give up ,because there is always soemone waiting to witness the blessing that you are and can be. Love for all :)</p>
