sometimes....

sometimes

we look plain

and

a little washed out

and

feel too simple

inside

sometimes

we look overly exposed

and

feel

afraid that everyone

can see all the little details

that we'te trying

to

hide

sometimes
we look
intensely radiant
and
feel
monstrously important

with

enough strength

to conquer our fears

and
sometimes
we look
shielded
and
a little shadowy
yet
decide
that maybe
we
feel
that this
is
the most
beautiful
of
all
~~~~~
so tell me
sweet ones
how are you feeling
