What is it we see and so often despise,
when we view ourselves using only the eyes,
that distorted image inside our head,
the old snakes skin that we’d like to shed,
dare we look from behind the frame,
beyond the self-loathing, repulsion and shame,
our vesture is woven from the beauty inside,
so take on its mantel and wear it with pride.

I wrote this for anyone who struggles with accepting how they see themselves in the mirror, which is often very different to how others see us. It sounds like a cliche but beauty really is what we are on the inside.
