In your own Gaze

In your own Gaze

Don’t search for love in castles far away,

For it lives within you, where you stand today.

Don’t look for love in others’ embrace,

For you will find it there in your own face.

Don’t try to fit in others' vessel,

You are whole, unique, and essential.

Your beauty does not lie in their fleeting praise,

You must be beautiful in your own gaze.

Every tear that rolls down shows your pain,

Every scar on your body represents the strength you’ve gained.

So cherish each moment, each tear, each scar,

And remember, you are perfect just as you are.

    This is such a beautiful, uplifting poem. It speaks directly to the importance of self-love and acceptance, emphasizing that fulfillment and beauty come from within rather than from external validation. Each stanza unfolds with a gentle reminder to value oneself, and the lines about cherishing tears and scars are especially powerful—they highlight that even the struggles are a testament to one’s inner strength. Wonderful✨😍
