Analysis of Insecure Finds Beauty
In shadows cast, she softly yearns,
A girl who seeks but never learns,
To fit the mold, to seamlessly blend,
Her heart's true worth she can't defend.
A chameleon in a world of hue,
She paints herself in shades askew,
Trying to match each passing trend,
Her uniqueness she can't defend.
In mirrors' gaze, she finds her flaws,
Imperfections that give her pause,
She measures worth by others' view,
Her own reflection she misconstrues.
With heavy heart and tear-streaked face,
She longs for belonging's warm embrace,
But doubt's cruel whispers hold her tight,
Confidence wanes in endless night.
Yet deep within, a fire burns,
A spirit strong, though covered in ferns,
She's more than just a fleeting trend,
Her inner light she must commend.
For beauty isn't just skin deep,
It's in the soul, the secrets we keep,
In laughter, kindness, and eyes that see,
The truth of who we're meant to be.
As seasons change and time moves on,
She'll find her place where she truly belongs,
No need to hide or fit the norm,
Her unique radiance will surely transform.
So let her learn and let her see,
Her worth is far beyond what eyes decree,
In time, she'll embrace the truth anew,
A masterpiece, beautiful and true.
