Glow

Under the harshest light

All flaws are exposed

Even the most beautiful

Are no longer composed

Like shards of glass

They seem to shatter

The once perfect image

Now filled with scattered matter

It's appalling, but true

That under this scrutiny

The beauty we hold dear

Is just a mere fallacy

But what is beauty

If not a subjective view

For what may be flawed

To me, may be pure and true to you.

Yet in this harsh light

It's hard to see

The true essence of beauty

That lies within thee

Oh, how I wish

It wasn't you

Under this harsh light

That leaves you feeling blue

For you are more

Than what meets the eye

Your flaws and imperfections

Make you uniquely and beautifully fly

But you wouldn't have a clue

For you can't see

How truly beautiful

You are to me

So let us dim this light

And see each other's souls

For that is where true beauty lies

And where it truly glows. 

Glow

Glow

Glow.
