you don't see what i see

By Brooke Wickline

​you don’t see what i see.
reflections show what i hide;
eyes strain over lumps,
hands scrape across scars
tracing jagged & rough lines
whose shapes alter as the sun declines.
abnormalities scour my frame
tucked away in a facade of shame.
you don’t see what i see

Beloved, you do not see what I see.
before Me, in darkness, I melded you together
cultivated in My likeness;
fearfully & remarkably composed.
as streams curve & mountaintops descend,
so your flesh rounds;
as brilliant stars light the sky,
so blemishes sprinkle your skin.

many may see a coarse and battered stone
encircled in jagged edges.
but My Treasure,
there lie glittering hues gleaming unaware,
a heart with beauty beyond compare.

Cherished, you don’t see what I see
precious is your heart
of greater value than gold.
seek Me in glowing splendor
& truth will behold.

I tell you the truth
My Child, you do not see what I see,
but how I long for you to agree.
