Acceptance

poem by: Raven Lane
Written on Feb 15, 2015

I find people most beautiful when they're unaware that they're being admired
I think that people too often think that the things they do consciously are what they're known for but truthfully it's the little things like how their eyes brighten when they speak about something they love and how they view the world
I believe that every individual has true depth to who they are and that only your soul mate can genuinely be interested in your every thought and want to understand you at the deepest level 
People pick and point out their physical flaws but when someone admires you that all fades away and all of their perfections become emphasized instead
Or like when you encounter a stranger, we see ourselves everyday and become accustomed to our daily appearance but when a stranger sees us for the first time they perceive us differently, more beautifully and unique
I think every person should view each stranger the way that they view the ones they love, then we would be more open and accepting 
When you love someone it's not only the physical appearance which matters it's everything that follows with who they are 
We shouldn't try to change people at all, we should love them and accept them fully, genuinely, just the way we yearn to be by another

poem by Raven Lane

Some might say I tend to see things through rose colored glasses and I used to think that was an insult. But what's wrong with seeing the moon brighter than it appears? Am I wrong for trusting in others and wearing my heart on my slee... Read more
