The century of the self

When I see myself

Skin

Eyes

Lips

Hands


When I see myself

As others saw me

Ugly

Weak


The trust of ignorance

The hopelessness of labels

The resentment of judgment 

The loss of misjudgment 


The strength of solitude

The beauty of truth

The comfort of harmony

The gift of balance


When I see myself

When I see others

As they see myself


It’s ok

Because


At the end 

Skin

Eyes

Lips

Hands


And it took a century 

For the self
