Smile


The world is full of beauty No one can deny But when we look into a mirror Most want to die Why do we do that? Hate what nature bestowed? Everyone is perfect Self-love is highly owed You gaze into a piece of glass And hate what stares back Yet do you notice your lovely eyes? Or the people they attract? Your face is full of mystery Each freckle is unique Each dimple adds some character You’ll see if you just peek Look deeply at your image Stop muddling the reflection With insecurities and hate See the wonder and perfection Not only is your beauty outward But look inside as well You possess such inner kindness And your talent can only swell Whether you write or paint Or score the winning goal You are a star in someone’s eyes You are perfect in your soul Perhaps you cannot see it yet Don’t fret, it may take a while But don’t forget you’re awesome And don’t forget to smile
