My Beauty

I enjoy finding the beauty in the little things that surround my life.

I love discovering beauty
in a lightbulb
on the bark of a tree
in the clouds that surround a sunset
in the music I listen to as I dream
on the wings of a butterfly
in the love I feel

Beauty makes the soul
realize that there is a reason for life
a reason to keep going
even when life doesn't seem all that grand

It brings about emotions
happiness
sorrow
elation
ease

Beauty is what illuminates a smile

Beauty is what composes art

Beauty is what brings about love

It is such a powerful thing

I know
that every person
who walks upon this dirty Earth
is Beautiful

For a long time,
I never found myself to be one
that was capable of being beautiful.

I never accepted myself
I was never comfortable with myself

People have been telling me all my life that
I am beautiful
and that I should just accept it

but I refused.
Beautiful people did things with their lives
Beautiful people are successful
Beautiful people have love in their lives

But now
it's different

It's like I woke
up today
without make-up
without my hair glammed up

and I looked at myself

and I thought about what and who I am

and realized

I am one of those beautful people.

I finally am happy with myself.


Everyone out there is beautiful

and I was so stupid to think that I wasn't a part of that.

And now,
I love to find beauty in the little things
because
life is too short to leave beauty

unnoticed
