The beauty from within
You are beautiful …
lovely as a pearl,
an original piece of rare art
I know sometimes, it feels as though you try
and try your very hardest
and yet no matter how hard you strive,
it always seems never ample
not good enough, not pretty enough,
not cool enough, not witty enough
and the insecurities never seem to come to a close…
You look in the mirror , wondering who you are
and if you will ever be on par
with all their impossible expectations
My lovely sister,
you are a limited edition…
the way you are is simply wonderful
Whatever you see as flaws and imperfections
are merely signs of you being uniquely special,
Whatever societal milestone you haven’t attained yet,
it doesn’t make you any less admirable…
Time may be running out
still you are never late..
Your journey, elaborately mapped
by the Creator of You and Me
cannot contain just any mishap
Haters may try their very best
to make you feel that you are less
and slowly eat away your confidence
but as the self doubts sink in, you wonder why?
why do they try so bad to make you feel so sad?
maybe they are trying to dull your shine
and break your soul in thousand pieces
yet You, my sister, refuse to be broken
clinging to the Strongest of all light
in hope and determinedly resilient
Your light shines even brighter and your spark stills the twilight
Your energy and force comes only from your Lord…
No matter who tries to dim your light
Your unshakeable faith will conquer it all…
Oh my dear sister, remember you are exceptional…
You need not try so hard..
to please them, to make yourself likeable,
for it’s only Allah that truly matters…
And as you grow older and wiser,
you will soon realise
the negative voices will simply tone down
and eventually matter less and less..
You will come to recognise
you only need allies
who help you thrive
and empower you to reach fullest potential
Oh my dear sister, look in the mirror
and see yourself for the strong lady you are..
You’ve been through so much
yet still so tall you stand, so tough
Your beauty is exclusively special
fashioned most perfectly
by the most Perfect of all…
Your beauty is exclusively special
for it shines beautifully from within…
within your golden heart..
