Hey, you.
I heard that you've been having some bad thoughts lately.
Nasty thoughts.
Thoughts about your body.
Thoughts that made you feel worthless.
Gross.
Ugly.
I've heard that you
think that you aren't enough.
Maybe you think your stomach is too round or your thighs are
too big or your bra is too small or your hair is too thin or your face has too
much acne or your feet are too big or your legs have too much hair or your skin
is too pale.
Maybe you hate yourself.
Maybe you wince
when you look in the mirror.
Maybe you compare
yourself to other girls.
Constantly.
And you can’t help
yourself.
If only you had hair like Anna.
Abs like Julie.
Smooth skin like
Kaylee.
Marie.
Victoria.
Carly.
Tara.
Cora.
Leila.
Riley.
Chloe.
Kelly.
Amanda.
Cassie.
He sees you.
If your soul is hollow.
If your heart is lost.
If your spirit feels lonely.
He sees you.
When the shirt is too baggy.
The foundation is too thick.
The straightener is too hot.
He sees you.
When the ice cream has fat.
When the scale is your enemy.
When leaning over the toilet hurts your neck and knees.
He sees you.
When you fear Facebook pictures.
When summer means tears.
When you feel the whispers clawing at you.
He sees you.
Gripping sleeves past
your wrist.
Hair to cover your
cheeks.
Your jeans are too
tight.
In the broken.
The dark.
The deep.
He sees you.
Every time.
He sees you.
In the incomprehensible.
He sees you.
In the abyss.
He sees you.
Beyond broken.
He sees you.
He sees you
He sees you.
He sees you.
Ephesians 2:10
We are His workmanship
I see you, my
daughter.
Magnificent.
