Journey to self love
I spent many years filled with self doubt,
I was caught in a storm and stuck in a drought.
I didnât understand the meaning of life,
I always confused what was wrong from right.
I thought the way I looked truly mattered,
I worked so hard to make my body flatter.
But what I somehow managed to look past,
Was how to live life in contrast.
Because itâs not always about what you see,
Itâs about what is revealed underneath.
Because when a personâs true beauty shines,
Itâs because they flourished from the inside.
I stopped caring about others thought,
And I ignored all of what the media taught.
Because I have always deeply disagreed,
With the images they wanted the world to see.
The perfect body isnât in existence,
But with so much drive and persistence,
There is a way to love every flaw,
The negativity just needs to withdraw.
Iâll start smiling when I look at my reflection,
And will quit relying on others attention.
I need to tell myself to start living for you,
And eventually the happiness will come through.
It might take a little more time,
But thatâs okay Iâve got all my life,
To build strength in my self love,
I just have to take the hate and rise above.

Nice write! I love positive writes! I try to keep mine that way, it doesn't always work out. lol! so goes life." because when a person's true beauty shines, It's because they flourished from the inside." In my belief we are spirit children of a Heavenly Father in a mortal body, and when we are righteous, people can see the shine from the inside! That is why I liked that line so much! Enjoyed!................Jim
Thank you Jim! Â For many years my poetry was rather dark and somber. Â But lately I have been growing and allowing my inner light to shine. Â You are totally right about when we are righteous we tend to shine! Â Lately with my gratitude towards my self image and the world Iâve noticed so many people telling me that I have been glowing! And itâs because of me accepting life and being righteous! Â Thanks for the positive comment đ
