Stop amending yourself for others' gaze,
When their regard you cannot truly appraise,
Uncertain if you're the only one they stare.

Why sing of another's eyes and lips so fair,
When you, too, are shaped with equal care.

You are gorgeous too, crafted with the same care,
Why make another the source of your happiness rare,
When it springs from within, a radiant flare.
So,
write for yourself, sing for yourself & cherish yourself,
Because no other gonna do it ,
unless you yourself do it .
