You're the Magic

Hey everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope your summer weekend is going well! These temperatures are getting me all a little dehydrated. Anyway, Thursday, I decided to get my tarot card readings done by a psychic, and here are my thoughts in the poem below.  To summarize, don't take the psychic to seriously. She/he are playing on your emotions that already exist. Write your own future.  Also, I'll post my floral summer dress that I have been wearing a ton!

You're the Magic

Poof. It's the magic.
We believe in it; it's tragic. 

We want to see our future in the crystal ball so desperately
And confirm or negate our inadequacies. 

Then we want to make them disappear so quickly,
Just like the dust of a pixie. 

But really, those pieces of advice from the psychic.
Are just insights, causing your emotions to become seismic.

They are generic.
They are not realistic.

Yet we still yearn for them so much
Because we want something better, that rush.

I instead, advise you to look inside.
Take that painful ride.

Understand your flaws.
Your imperfections, so raw.
Understand your strengths.
And all of the beautiful things about you.

Figure out where you want to go.
Make your own destiny. Make your future grow.

Trust your intuition.
Not a psychic's imitation.

Of your desire.
Sire, that's the magic in you.

Beauty Inside is Happiness Outside

This poem is particularly close to my heart, because it really inspired me to start this blog back in January. I believe that beauty is truly skin deep. It is the confidence we carry from the inside that exudes into all phases of our lives outside. We can only find our personal confidence through our own successes and failures and recognizing our own personal sense of self. This poem expresses how I've felt in different parts of my life. It shows the body issues we've all gone through.  Enjoy. Also, after this poem, I've the link to an outfit I like, and the song that inspires me to write this poem! Also, this week, I'm going be coming up with another post that gives father's day gift recommendations and some poems I've curated that you can print for dad.

Beauty Inside is Happiness Outside

Every day she looked in the mirror,
In a little bit of angst and fear.

She saw in the mirror, her silhouette
Of a body that went from size 6 to size 12, less than perfect.

She was the size of an average woman in America
She still felt the desire to be a thin angelica.

As they came, her older days,
Of elder responsibilities, and joys

Brought along additional weight
That she couldn't get rid of; she hated.

She didn't realize that beyond that silhouette
Was her true self inside, and that is just perfect.

She was not working on being look bate
Like her earlier days
And young immature ways

Her younger thinner days weren't happier;
She focused on other self-insecurities, feeling less than dapper

Now to present day, she passed exams,
And damn,

She was one that grew confidence
Increased poise, and prominence
Along with that gained weight

She was accomplished
Accolades everywhere, the world astonished.

Yet she still had angst about her looks; she should have focused more on that inner silhouette
More than the outer one when looking at the mirror daily in fact

She should have seen that happiness is from the inside
And she should have put those self-deprecating image issues to the side

Because through all phases she was and is enough
And beauty is always skin deep.

For her and other girls, the happiest girls inside
Will be the most beautiful outside
