I see your facade , the self you choose to show me, the self you construct to present to me hoping that i will like you and that I will accept as you. You carve yourself to fit into my space watchful that you do the things I like and to be the person that you think I want and need. i see you losing the you of you to be the one for me and for all the others. You blend in like a chameleon changing colors, shapes and sizes to ensure that you fit. I see you mold yourself to others expectations all the while letting pieces of yourself go until you do not even remember who you were before we came.
I see your own beautiful true self . A shining sparkle of gold hidden under all your self imposed disguises. it is time dear love to come out , to drop the reflected vision of others, to look into the mirror and reveal yourself. I know you are afraid of losing your created selves, afraid to lose the you that you spent so much time trying to be. But know and trust that the inner you has so much potential, so much beauty and that the only one you need to please is you. Stand in awe of yourself. Like a flower blossoming you have reached the place where you can reveal your glorious self to everyone . Welcome back home.
