This goes out to everyone, particularly the sisters…the baby okus who spend years lying in their pools of insecurity:
“You are beautiful, you are perfect
Your dream man is watching you
But he can’t love you
He won’t
Because he KNOWS
He knows in the dark recesses of your mind
That you sleep and clothe yourself in self-hate
He sees past your bitchiness
Past your filppancy
Past your pretty dresses
Past your “oh-so-perfect” up do
He can’t embrace you
He won’t come to you
Because he sees how you struggle to disassociate yourself from yourself…
What he need is for you
Not to take a step towards him
But into yourself
Embrace yourself
Tell yourself, that you are beautiful, that you are light to those in darkness
That you are a beacon of perfection
Sister, behold thyself…….
And…
He will BEHOLD you”
