Inner beauty

What if your inner beauty

Is a damaged butterfly

Hurting its broken wings

As it wrestles to free itself

From the cage of human ideas that imprison you

What if emergent in your soul

Is all the wisdom of truth

You most need to hear and trust

What if the ugliness they tried to project on you

Came from another way of seeing

All surface and no depth

What if now your true self

Lies imprisoned in a web of untruth

That you must break free of

Can you see the depth below the surface

Luminous truth shining through

The spaces that live between tangled thought threads

A knotted up useless ball of pain

Can you trust your inner song and sing it

Find your joy

And wing it

To the beautiful life awaiting you
