You See Me

You see me The way no one else does. Some look at me Not looking beyond the blemishes Embedded on my skin. Some even look past me As though I'm invisible, But you look at me Without judgment. You see the true beauty Shining deep within me. You see some scars, too, But you don't seem to care. Your kind eyes search through The rubble of my soul To unearth A rare diamond. You see me As I am *not a personal write* Date written: 06/15/2022

That would be the person one wants to hold on to forever--one who lets you be who you are. A FAVE from me for the powerful message.
