Beauty Beyond The Beast

In the glass, a visage cold, A reflection of a tale untold, A monster stares, with eyes so deep, In the mirror's secrets, darkly keep. Twisted features, jagged grin, A hideous creature, born within, It mocks my hopes, my every dream, In the mirror's depths, an eerie scheme. But look again, and deeper still, Beyond the mask, the icy chill, There lies a heart, a soul to find, A kindred spirit, once maligned. For in our flaws, our scars, our grace, Lies the beauty of the human race, The mirror's lie, it can't define, The strength that's found, your true design. Embrace the truth, the love that's real, Let empathy and kindness heal, For though a monster may appear, Within your heart, your light shines clear.
