You're taught to analyze, right?
You're taught to look closely,
to mentally shed light
on the hidden truths
inside.

This lesson in its essence,
when applied to your own presence
in this life, traps your heart
in endless scrutinization of
who you are.

From the way you speak your words
to your crinkled, smiling eyes,
simply studying your being
can transform it into
what you despise.

But you are the obvious beauty
and you don't have to search for more.
How intricately you examine
will not change how
you're adored.
