be it

don't let the beauty
you surround yourself with
soaring choruses
and city lights
pave the way for the
slow death of
the beauty
that's inside
you

we are all
distracted from
our greatness
in this life

destined to
make-do
as we torture ourselves
with endless
silent
what ifs
and
how comes

take off your mask
for a moment
let down your hair
strip down to
your skin
and step inside what
you see in
the mirror
reacquaint yourself
with the
truth
leave the fear behind
and love what
you see

and then be
it
