Open Your Eyes: My Attempt at a Poem


Oh my darling, open your eyes,
And please get rid of your disguise.
You’re so much more than what they say,
I hope you see this too someday.

Take off the masks you try to wear,
When you are stuck in self-despair.
Remove the chains that hold you tight,
For joy comes with the new daylight.

You’re full of beauty inside and out,
Yes, this is true without a doubt.
Don’t listen to the lies you hear,
You’re more than pain and scars and fear.

Oh my darling, be who you are,
Shine brighter than the brightest star.
You are beautiful, loved and free,
Oh my darling, don’t you see?
