From a distance
Everything seems beautiful
Everything seems to be dusted with gold
Dreams are beautiful from afar
Because the closer they get
To becoming a reality
The more vulnerable I am
To them bursting
Like a bubble
In my face
In my eyes
Piercing, shattering
My vision
Is blurred
Flecks of gold dust
In my black eyes
Beautiful
Is what pain has made me
Scarred and blemished
Everything and anything
But plain and simple
Far from abstraction
Far from concrete
Far from the herds
Far from everyone and everything
I am beautiful
Everything and everyone is beautiful
From a distance.
