Becoming Me

Becoming me has been a long treacherous journey

It was difficult to discover what was beautiful within me

My face is not symmetrical

My hair is rarely perfect

I am a far cry from graceful

But as if what passed through me was an electrical current

I now see my bright big blue eyes

My curving and mature body

The way when the sun is setting I stop to admire the sky

My voice right after I've been crying

 I am not beautiful in the conventional way 

but in my own unique way

Becoming me has had it's ups and downs 

but finding the beauty in myself has made me see the beauty in everything

Even the rain in the clouds

I liked the logic of this poem.
"Becoming me has had it's ups and downs
but finding the beauty in myself has made me see the beauty in everything
Even the rain in the clouds"
I believe we learn wisdom when we learn to accept ourselves. Nice journey led to very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Raveness, Becoming who you have become is a never-ending process, filled with checkpoints along the way...over smooth roads and potholed terror rides...the process. The fact that you take the time for introspection, an honest self-examination, the awareness to notice that your voice right after crying may have different things to say, in a slightly different tone. I think that this piece shows a lot of the real you and alerts me to the talent you have expressing same. Again, nice to meet ya! take care...dan

This is truly inspiring. I love the personal feel to the poem. It flows very nicely. I can't say enough how much I love the positive vibe in this. We are look at ourselves, and focus way to much on what's wrong. Great job! :)

it is true sometime beauty lies in the eyes of others but it is not always true ..beauty is that what you see within yourself ..what completes you as a human being your emotions ,attitude,love,generous ,and of course the person who like you the way you are ...not relating humanwith rational thinking

Wow!
Very well written and it touched me,
Can I just say though, you have potential!
My favorite part was, "Becoming me has been a long treacherous journey
It was difficult to discover what was beautiful within me
My face is not symmetrical
My hair is rarely perfect"
Please continue to write and read!
Can you by chance look at my story The Blonde Girl, It would really mean a lot to me.
Your new fan,

That's quite a good way to look at things. The discovery of your own beauty can be a real eye-opener and reflect your life in a new and positive way you never thought possible. Good for you.
