And then I realized
That we cut ourselves open
Not to release the pain
But to release the beauty
The beauty that we can't see in ourselves
So we go looking deep inside
Seeking happiness
Yet all we find is that we are blind
We cannot see the beauty
Without the looking glass
That we all assume someone else has
But alas
People all around us have pieces
Some return their share
Having taken good care of it
But others don't return it at all
Thus the hollowness we feel
And the need to go searching
What we don't know
Is that the people who care
Will give you pieces of theirs
And in turn
Create an impenetrable bond of love
And trust
That when they need it most
You will do as they have done
And help them see the beauty they have been blind to.*
