Be your own validation
Only you see you
When you “beautify” and before
When your days are gray
When you haven’t washed your hair in “I don’t know how long”
When you dance around naked to your playlist
When you scrape yourself off the bathroom floor with tear-stained cheeks
Only you know you
Only you truly see you
The you when know one is watching
Nobody knows every crevice of you as you do
Dear god, I hope you see the beauty in those tight spaces
Don’t wait for some onlooker to speak on the tiny view they get of you
Be your own validation
For after all, only you see you
