You say you hate your smile

Your face 

Your body 
And everything you are 
But I don't understand why? 
Why the hatred of your body 
Is more important 
Than the love for your existence 
Every time I compliment your exquisite features 
You always say "how?" 
Or "nah, that's not true" 
But honestly it is 
You are a ray of sunshine 
A piece of the world, oh so divine 
Your body is a map to the Seven most 
beautiful wonders of the world 
That I would one day love to explore 
You say you are ugly 
But you are a garden that flows 
And I want to plant a beautiful flower
To remind you of the most beautiful 
Thing on this unbearable planet.
