MY SIGHTS vs. MY REALITY

Looking up I saw it, 

As it looked plump, radiant, colourful,

I looked down & ahead of me,

I saw something else,

It looked well decked, adorned and colourful,

Clothed with colours I never thought existed,

Sights that created warmth inside me.

I thought to myself,

"How beautiful these two are"

I looked at myself,

"Could I compare to them?

Well... maybe not,

But why the feeling that 'I'm less'?"

I took a stand beside it as it laid peacefully in its spot & its full pride

I measured myself with it,

To discover that of a truth, "I'm more than these"

I can't compare myself to these.

I asked myself this riddling question:

"Why then that weird feeling?

Why do I feel less than these things?

When in the real sense I'm more than them?

If they are this radiant & adorned, 

Shouldn't I be fuller, colourful & better adorned than them?

Could it be that I don't see it well enough?

Maybe I need a better lens to see things from,

To behold the beauty bestowed on me,

How that the DESIGNER of these beauties was more focused on designing me.

How that HE was carefully filling my colours so I could be beautiful"

I took a seat within me,

Speaking words of truth to hold dear to follow,

"You mustn't forget who you are

You should see you as you see these beautiful things

You should see you as HE sees you, 

See you as HE wants you HE's designing to come out - 

A beauty to behold!"
