See Yourself

When we look in the mirror at ourselves,
or see ourselves in a video,
or photo,
all the negative voices flood our minds
so loud we can"t see anything good.
We see ourselves as old and wrinkled
or scarred or blemished.
We see ourselves as too fat or too skinny,
too boney or too fleshy.
We think we are too tall or too short.
But the reality is,
that only we see that.

Others look at us and see our expressions
and our eyes.
They see the way we carry ourselves
or try to hide ourselves.
They see our hearts
and our souls.
They see our happiness
and our sadness.
They see our pain
and our joy.

Stop looking at yourself in the mirror
and seeing the things that don"t matter.
Start seeing yourself the way others see you.

You have the choice to smile or frown.
You have the choice to be compassionate
and empathetic.
You have the choice to express yourself in a way
that makes you proud of who you are.

Stop listening to the loud negative things
that echo in your head.
Turn those voices off
and start seeing yourself the way others do.
The way the people who truly love you do.
