BADKITTEN's blog: "My Poems"

"You cannot change what is a part of you."

although I've often tried.

My body was never thin enough,

m imperfections i'd always hide.

I smiled when they said I was beautiful,

I laughed when they said I was great.

But it took a long time to believe in their words,

I figured loneliness was my fate.

The boys i wanted didn't want me,

I was tossed, used and torn.

So many took me as a joke,

I crawled inside myslef - scared and forlorn.

My self-esteem has let me down,

My belief in myself was nil.

I did not understand where i was headed,

could not understand until...

I finally decided to believe in me,

I realized that I was worth so much.

This was when I could see through the storm,

When i allowed my soul to be touched

when times get distressing and rough.

But i know that i will always love myself,

No matter what-

I AM ENOUGH!
