Me

A Poem by Toni Blackerby
"

its a poem about the way i see myself

"
The blue of the sky matches my eyes
The brown of the tree bark matches my hair
The pale snow matches my skin
The body of a hippo matches mine

thank u
lol, this reminds me of something someone quite dear to me would write, but never brave enough to post. It’s amazing how we see ourselves and even more amazing how out of 11 views I am the first to respond. We have to embrace who we are, what we love about ourselves and what we hate, how we feel and how we see. It is all that makes us who we are. I love that you placed your thoughts of how you see yourself in words. I am a full figured woman and am very confident in my own skin; my daughter however feels shame and thinks no one will ever want her. What’s the difference...I don't think nor care how others see me, I see me how I want to. From the inside out and dam it I rock! SO do you and so does my daughter. Embrace who you are from the inside...learn to love it...then work your way out, and in a year from now read this poem again. A powerhouse of honesty and pain in this raw write of yours.
We write from joy and pain, they are nothing of the same, but here we are again and again balancing the joy and the pain.
