The Dream vs The Reality

The Dream

Sometimes I pretend that I am a snowflake,

White and tiny and perfectly formed.

I float on the air, on a pale blue moon at night

I'm never lonely.

I'm beautiful, and slender,

Oh and I'm loved.

I see a man,

With his hand stretched out,

I drift down and reach that hand.

I'm enclosed by his warmth, and I melt with his love.

(Lyrics from The Twilight Zone by Marge Poem format created by Priscilla Velez, as well as Poem title.)

To all the Mar'es out there who do not feel that they are beautiful or loved. I wrote this poem to you. I write it in the tense of God, a loving father writing to his broken daughter who has been deceived into believing that she is not beautiful.

The Reality

You don't need to pretend anymore Marge

You don't need to run and hide

Your beautiful don't you see Marge

More beautiful than anything

A snowflake pales in comparison Marge

Please just look at me

You don't need to be slender and small to be beautiful Marge

When I see you I see only beauty

The hand you're reaching for Marge

It's me

Can't you see

I made you Marge

And I see only beauty

So you don't need to dream Marge

Your dream is your reality

You are more beautiful than anything Marge

Stop wishing for what's clearly seen

Just grab my hand I'll show you real love

I'll show you that it's not something in your body

I made you Marge

I knitted you in your mother's womb

Just know this one thing Marge

Please just look at me

I think you are beautiful Marge

And I think you are wonderfully made

So stop dreaming 

Stop wishing

Because you are true beauty
