how many paths, how many loves
living and changing and ever climbing
learning and growing and springing over
like purple sunsets entering red mountains
each experience reopening your eyes, gaining
wisdom and freedom, ever increasing strength

Atlas holding Gaia, never ending strength
becoming charged and overcome with love    
encircled with history and caring, gaining
a repertoire of eternal connections, climbing
into dream fields surrounded by mountains
will this serenity ever be over?

though hopefully the uncertainty will be over
and that we will have strength
to conquer all the encountered mountains
created by each newly attained love
embrace avenues crossed and obstacles climbed
to have pleasure and confidence gained

though will paradise ever be gained
allowing forgetfulness of pain we're over
while still remembering friendships we climbed
every node you pass gives strength
for the next stage of love
giving elemental power to move mountains

our past shadows creating fresh mountains
to relive, to adore; understanding gained
so many different forms of love
meaningfully distinct, passed but never over,
each one providing new wonderful strength
to allow us unique nirvanas climbed

always strive for larger heights climbed
those hopes will be worth mountains
don't fear any loss of strength,
weakness endured is often willpower gained
hate and sorrow should never over-
come the treasureful bliss of love

*Don't be afraid of the climb to the top of the mountain
unbelievable strength will be gained,
all the adventures that are over will become unforgettable love
She hates her physique,
Never knowing what she will ever be.

She looks in the mirror
With horror.

She is disgusted by her looks and thinks herself can never be trusted.

For she believes value,
Relies of what people think of you.

We live in a society with a wrong mentality,

In which we deny to look farther than the layer of skin,

For why we commit so much sin.

We say beauty
Is an ethnicity.

It depends on the color of our lens.

It relies on what really is just lies.

For truth,
Is found in another booth.

A chest does not contain its treasure on the outside,
Rather it guards it on the inside.

A book doesnt contain its tales on the shells,
They lie within its cells.

This girl is a treasureful chest, a riveting book, a beautiful human being.

Yet she doesnt believe so.

She says stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me and she is right.

Words dont hurt her, they **** her. They tear her soul apart, leaving an open wound which just keeps bleeding and bleeding because no one is willing to cure.

You see, we worry of what people might think of us, we trust others before we trust ourselves.

We look blindly in the mirror not looking farther than our own skin, instead we listen what others say about us.

We are made of beauty, covered by what we know as skin.

But most of us cant see that
Most of us are blind,
Followed by the critiques that others say.

With what we sadly determine beauty.
And what we use to determine ourselves.
In today's society, many girls and guys are told that they're too fat, too skinny, too dark, too white... They are criticized by their skin, not looking what's inside, our beauty.
