I wish you knew that
you are a work of art.
Living, breathing proof that light
can shine through darkness.
I wish you could see
the way you light up a room
when you walk in,
the way the sun shines on your face,
and the way your eyes sparkle
when you’re excited.
I wish you knew
the way you captivate your audience,
the way that your words shape stories
with details that keep others
on the edge of their seats.
I wish you knew
how adored you are.
I wish you could see
how worthy you are
of love,
happiness,
satisfaction,
joy.
I wish you could see
that you are worthy
of being fulfilled.
I wish you knew
what I see
when I look at you.
I see a miracle.
I see beauty from ashes.
I see redemption.
I see hope
and strength.
I wish that the lies in your head
would stop screaming at you
for just one minute
so that you could hear
the faint whisper
that tells you
the truth of who you are.
I wish you could hear it say:
“You are enough.”
