Open eyes

You cry because your beautiful
I laugh because I'm not
I feel trapped inside my own body
I just want to breakout
If I could change I would
But time consumes to much of my life
If you wanted to be happy you would
You face is perfect
You eyes are wide open
Dry up those years and smile

Don't judge your beauty from others.
enjoy the fact that you can write poetry, and they can barely remember their street address.

Smile.

Wow, strong and beautiful ending to this one. I have been there, done that, and have a t-shirt when it comes to self-loathing in regards to my appearance and oh how the years have taught me that there is no wealth in appearance. Looks are only skin deep, they said while I was growing up and I took people's words far too seriously. Holy crap, if I could go back and talk to my younger self I would tell her to STFU and love the skin you're in. Thing is, you don't realize it when you're young and you only get it when you get older and you look back and see those pictures of yourself. You sit and wonder, after having two children and seeing those old pictures what the hell were you so worried about? Why did you think you're fat or unpretty or whatever? Its silliness. Its taken me years to appreciate who I am as a person and that there is far more to me than just appearance. There is more truth and depth to these words that I have read in a while and the last line especially speaks measures. 'Dry up those years and smile' Brilliantly written!
