Beautiful you

You wake up with a cluttered brain and a pounding heart 

Should I get up? Is the question that  you keep on asking yourself 

What if today is just like yesterday?

What if it’s worse?

These fears keep running until you finally prepare yourself to get up

You know you’ve completed your biggest task for today 

But why does it not feel good? 

You take a step ahead and see yourself in the mirror 

You don’t see anything pretty or surprising 

All you see is your flaws, your scar and all the things people point out as ugly about you

You wonder how people can have the courage to look into the mirror every day 

How they have the courage to think of themselves as pretty or beautiful ?

When all you see is the worst example of beauty

But who set these examples for you ?

And why do you care about what others think ?

You ask this to yourself and realise its not you

Its not you who is ugly but the thoughts  inside those people who define your beauty for you

You ponder upon the thought of how stupid you were to let these people get inside your beautiful brain

How stupid you were to let them point out your flaws

You realise today that it was you who let them do all these things to you

It was you who gave your power to others

But now it was over 

It was over for them who judged your beauty and made you think of yourself as ugly

You realise this and make up your mind to never call yourself as ugly again 

Because if you thought of yourself as ugly why wouldn’t others?

Today you become capable of seeing the bright side of you 

You go past your flaws and see the beautiful soul that’s inside you 

The soul so pure that you forget the definition of beauty 

You cheerfully get ready and step outside the house with a bright smile

You don’t care what others think of you because today you’ve believed in yourself 

Because today was the day you found your true self

The key to your beautiful life was in your hand

That day the sun shone brighter for you

The flowers had more perfume for you 

And the day was more colourful for you

This was all because you didn’t care

You didn’t care about others point of view towards you 

About which one of your flaws was making you ugly 

All you cared was what you think about yourself 

Today for the first time you questioned “What is beautiful in me?”

Not what else do I think is ugly about me

Today you see the brighter side of things 

You realise it is everything that matters to you 

And you stop seeing yourself as ugly.

You stop caring about the society’s definition of beauty 

Because today you’ve realized that beauty has no definition 

Anything and everything is beautiful 

It is you who lets others define your beauty for you

And the day you start defining your beauty ,

Nothing can stop you from seeing the bright and beautiful you.
