Liz, You ARE beautiful, inside and out.

This poem I really understood the self disgust and loathing you go through each day...

I felt the emotion and the sadness, but also the hope and faith in yourself, because I can imagine you seeing the exact same person yet beautiful, which means you are beautiful and I know you are
NEVER EVER FORGET THAT.

Love this piece, even though it is drenched in pain, I felt it and I love being able to do that

Hugs and love,

You are beautiful, don't close your eyes.

Liz, you are beautiful.

I don't know if I understood the poem correctly but according to how I understood it, I will comment.

You are a beauty not only in the outside but also in the inside. I like this piece because it shows that we all have some type of insecurity that makes us feel somehow bad about us rather that puts our self esteem down, but really. You are beautiful, not only in dreams. I like dreaming and closing my eyes most of the times, the images are better in my own little space but it's a lot better when I see it in reality. So I hope you can open your eyes to see the beauty that you posses and not just see within the dream. :)

Captivating piece, that leaves the reader thinking and also feeling the emotion that the author portrayed.

Liz-
You have touched on a subject that hits every woman... The way you elegantly wrote this powerful and heartfelt piece, just gripped me... Within a woman is a treasure -Its beautiful, so are you and so is this sad and touching poem- ( it deserves to be highlighted. nomination- (tomorrow) :-)

I love this, You are beautiful,

and I love how everyone said so cuz it's true. . . and I absolute loved this poem, the opening was fantastic .. it was so sorrowful. . :( but it was a good poem. there was some definitely raw emotions in this.. It got even more sad when you say you close your eyes and see a glimpse of that, that's a glimpse of hope and you can go there. . loved this one :)

1000/5 :p

-edit... my bad. if you saw it.. i accidentally put it the wrong way :p

When I close my eyes,
just for a moment,
I get the chance to
become someone
else.

^^ I really like that stanza, thats how I feel about writing. I can be someone else when I write, and usually that requires me to close my eyes and put myself in a different place.

I loved the rest of this poem! Truthfully I think this is soooo relate-able to so many people, because often us humans get down on ourselves and can't find beauty anywhere in us, however there really is so much beauty inside every person and its going to take other people to lift you up to help you realize it...

You are beautiful. And so is your poetry :)

I do the same thing. how im always left, thinkin she must be prettier than me. but then i try not to think about it nd say who cares..im probably purely beautiful more than her on the inside or unlike her..but thats impossible nd its hard to think like this bc the lost man of my dreams is getting married to her.

i cant believe you do this too..or thought of it.
true and sad
5/5
