make them stop

Title: #002: Poem

If I give you my eyes,

Will the dark be dispelled

From your vision?

Because there has got to be

Something blocking

Your line of sight

If you aren’t

Happy with what you see in the mirror.

If I give you my eyes,

Would you realize who you are?

Would you admire yourself

The way I admire

You?

Oh I hope you would.

Stop doing this to yourself please.

You are infinitely beautiful.

Please…

Please

Hear my plea!

Your icy

Eyes don’t need to be washed

By any more tears,

Because they already glint

With beauty

And happiness.

Stop poking and prodding.

And weighing

And telling yourself you aren’t good enough!

Because someday

Someone

Will love you

With a love that

Never fails.

Someday

Someone

Will have the ability

To make you feel

As gorgeous as you are.

But until that day,

Do me a favor -

Take my word for it.

– Rachel Eves

Being yourself is the true meaning of beauty.
