At first she believes her appearance is relevant and so she hides.
She hides as she is being labelled as ugly and out of the normal, an alien amongst the others.
She hides as she is being judged by standards which were never hers.
She hides and floats into isolation while she grows up in her imagination alone.
Soon she realises that true beauty is not defined by perception from others.
Soon she realises that her pain was self-inflicted all along.
Soon she realises that the love she sought on the outside comes from within.
Soon she realises that the power she longs for radiates from her heart and soul.
The moment she saw beyond her skin colour was the moment she transformed into one of the most gracious beings in her surroundings.
Her light shines from within as she embraces
her self worth and her beauty within her mind, body and soul.
She stepped into her true and authentic self with a smile and a deep knowing she is whole, complete and enough.
Never give your power away to perceptions that are not yours.
Never seek love from the outside if you don’t feel it for yourself first.
Never be fooled by outside beauty as the body attracts but it is the soul that mesmerises.
