Self

Brown eyes 

Let me continue to find meaning within you

Every speck locks significance 

Each iris holds truth

Only you hold the power of resilience within 

And maybe lotus flowers lay in the murky mud

But you understand perfectly that life is just as s****y 

And you thrive, love

You thrive with luminous brown eyes 

And a smile that greets the world with kindness

And looking at this mirror 

Where once someone stood by your side

You can find reassurance within yourself

Because lotus flowers like you find beauty and vitality within oneself 

So love,

Please love,

Yourself.
