Optical Illusion

Daylight to night, everyone’s rainbow appears in the sunlight.

Birthmarks to beauty divine, caught on camera, spotlight shines.

Embedded within a photograph, we find something to admire about others that represent something hidden, deeply seeded within ourselves.

Those who encourage others have truly found their inner beauty, and those who choose to destroy others have yet to discover what it truly means to accept who you are and your own beauty within.

Only desiring to be seen as unflawed and “normal” without truly revealing what makes them actually beautiful.

Those quick to judge others based on physical looks alone are those who are hiding the flaws they seek validation for.

Whether the imperfection is skin deep, or something based more on internal and character/personality inadequacies.

We put on a face so others will see what we allow to emerge to light, not truly what is internal. Not everyone deserves to see that.

We have a hidden dimmed image concealed deep within the darkroom of the mind of who we think we truly are. Like a polaroid before it develops.

The true image isn’t made clear until it is finished.
