Butterfly Wings

Butterflies can't see the beauty in their wings;

But we as humans see the beauty in these things;

So why is it that we are blind;

Blocking OUR beauty from our mind;

Standing before a mirror hating what we see;

Telling ourselves if only I weren't me;

But the beauty is there too;

But we never even knew;

We listened too well when they spoke every flaw;

As if the words of our worst critics were law;

But others see you and not what you hate;

Because your ugliness is something you create;

We see beauty but you see the ugly you believe in your head;

Believing that beauty can only be in the standard we're fed;

So I'm telling you now you're more beautiful then you know;

So please believe me when I say it's time to outgrow;

Ignore all your haters and people who speak lies;

They aren't worth another tear from your eyes;

I promise soon you'll find out these things;

I promise one day you'll see the beauty in your wings
