Little issues

Each little issue once a form of hatred my crooked nose or the hair on my arms How could I love myself if I wasn’t the epitome of beauty yet I still tried to conform dressed to fit in or act like the others No matter how hard I tried, I could never look like them, but I was told “you have my nos...

Presently learning

Embracing Myself

I learned to love myself, To see my worth and my wealth. I used to hide in the shadows, But now I shine like a star in the meadows. I used to be so insecure, My heart broken, my spirit unsure. But I found the strength to rise above, To embrace myself with a ne...
