You!…with the sad eyes
You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
You with the beautiful sad eyes. It’s easy to feel so small, left out, ugly, fat, unappreciated, average, ‘unliked’ and confused in a world of controlled online presence, photoshop, digital editing, fake smiles and followers.
Where beauty is matched with how skinny you look and how many body enhancing surgeries you’ve gone through. Where greatness and popularity is matched with how many likes and followers you have. Where human empathy are status and posts updates on social media walls.
It’s easy to feel like you don’t matter and to lose touch with your own uniqueness in order to match up. That you have to act or look a particular way to be heard or seen. To be liked. To be followed.
There is so much confidence oozing in the world today. People act and talk like they know what they are doing. On YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, magazine covers all you see is the glamour and smiles. No one has it all figured out. The best of us gets frustrated on a good day.
But I see your true colors shining through
That’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid
To let them show
Your true colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Sad eyes, this post is to remind you how beautiful you are today. Someone likes you just the way you are. Someone is looking up to you. Someone thinks the world of you. Someone is watching you walk by.
You don’t have to look or pose or write like the next person. You are special just the way you are.
Remember that some things are worth it. A true friend is better than a 100 fake ones. If your beauty, fame, and charisma were taken away from you today, can you still count on those around you today to remain by your side?
Show me a smile then
Don’t be unhappy
can’t remember when I last saw you laughing
Sad eyes, remember that self-love and acceptance is important. You have to love yourself to see those who truly love you. The world will throw a lot of things your way. How well you carry yourself will determine how far you will go. No one is responsible for your own happiness except you.
So sad eyes
Take courage now
