Look at you
Sitting there thinking you’re not beautiful.
I don’t think you’ve ever been more wrong.
You just don’t see it
Do you
How even the stars are jealous of your light
Out there in the distance.
It’s almost intrusive, insulting
And it infuriates me beyond all reason
That you doubt your own amazing so.
Do you realise how great you are?
I’m not talking about your face
Thought it’s handsome beyond compare –
I mean your heart more than anything,
Your soul and all its wonder.
It’s a crime to deny your radiance,
To question the absolution of your unfaltering goodness.
Have you no vision? No sense of your own achievement?
I know it well,
For it colours my every step these days.
I think “What would he do?”
For you know better than I how to sidestep life’s minefield
And come out all the more gracious at the other side,
No matter the pain it flings at you.
How do you not see it?
Oh wondrous creature, the very definition of humility –
You are too humble for your own good.
Dear, light, bane of my existence:
You are all I strive to be,
An example I can never live up to.

Some people don't realise how incredible they are and that breaks my heart. I understand being humble, but you have to allow yourself some pride in your own amazing.
