What if you were always the person you wanted to be?

Maybe you didn’t see yourself the way you were all this time. And you were wrong. So what if you were always the person you wanted to be? What if you were beautiful all along but you just couldn’t see yourself through your own eyes? Cause you only believed what the world told you were. You wore their compliments on your body, not your soul or your real smile. And when you did look into the mirror, it wasn’t you. How could it even be you? When you hide your skin, colour your eyes and still claim you don’t feel like yourself. That’s why maybe you were blinded by the mirrors and photographs, and got hurt under your own skin, telling yourself that you aren’t beautiful, you can never be. But look at that person underneath your flesh; that person who loves patches and broken figures, who climbs mountains for herself and touch the skies, isn’t she beautiful. She has always been and so have you.
