See Her
Sep 20
1 min read
A poem about being more than the easiest thing to see.
Don't tell her
she is beautiful
if beauty is all
you have seen.
See her mind.
Her heart.
The quiet fire
behind everything she does.
Don't tell her
what she cannot become.
She might just become it
to prove that she can.
Let her be beautiful.
Let her be brilliant.
Let her be soft.
Let her be strong.
But never reduce her
to the easiest thing
to see.
There is a whole woman
behind the way she looks.
See her.
Closing Note
A woman should never have to become
less beautiful
to be taken seriously.
She should simply be allowed
to be more than beautiful.
And perhaps the most powerful thing
any of us can do
is leave room for women
to define strength
for themselves.
"See Her" is part of Lyrmotion’s exploration
of cinematic poetry — where words feel like scenes.
