The Thought That Burst In Tears

You look so beautiful So angelic So majestic I could never take that away from you So I may as well stop trying You look so beautiful So perfect So pure But you don't think of yourself this way None of us think of ourselves this way You look so beautiful So radiant So free Just take the blinders off your eyes And see how close we truly are To each other

Perhaps the "English visionary" is the "master" to whom you referred earlier. Others always see us differently than we do ourselves. Do you remember the first time you heard your own voice on tape? Were you surprised by the way you sounded? It's the same with how we perceive our physical appearance. Anorectics think they're fat; of course, they're starving themselves to improve the way they think they should look. Excellent verse, Yoni. Love, Carolyn
