you are so beautiful
when you allow yourself
to be honest
and open

it has nothing to do
with how you look

this beauty
shines from the inside
though the cracks of your life

but the mask is so brittle
and superficial
and ugly

put it down
once and for all
and embrace
all imperfection
and brokenness

the divine will
see your willingness
and rush towards you
with grace
and shower you with true beauty
and the light
will flow from you
for the world to see.
