"Beauty" by Nathan, 15 | August 2020

It’s soft and gentle
Soothing and calm
When you see it, you get chills
You get all warm and fuzzy
It’s as if you’re in a trance
Like you can’t look away
It can feel great
But it can also be dangerous
You do anything for it
Put its life before yours
You can be blinded
And not even realize the more you feed it
The more a little bit of you dies
I deal with this all the time
It’s everywhere
You can’t be blinded
You have to take care of yourself
I learned
You can’t expect to take care of someone or something
If you don’t even take care of yourself
