Cursed eyes (sorry if punctuation is bad)

Why can't i see myself how you see me, why are my eyes cursed to not see how apparently beautiful how my face looks, how my smile lights up the room somehow. That my eyes that I swore are cursed sparkle with glee. I swear I'm not beautiful and l'm not being modest but, because I truly can't see it. That when I look in the mirror all I see a shell of cracks and holes and peace missing that I don't know Where they were left, I say sorry no matter how small because I am scared that if I don't and I lose another person who sees me other than how I see myself, I may be less than what I think i am. I wish I stood up for myself as much as I do for others. But I cannot deny the flaws I see in myself, so how can I defend things about myself that are so blatantly obvious.
