I Can Finally Be Me

Just some thoughts expressed in poetry.. This was kinda my thinking process, I was thinking about how I'm not good enough, but then I realized I'm getting better. Well, I hope you enjoy (:

I'm sorry I can't be perfect,
Extremely skinny and pretty,
That's what people want,
But it's quite hard to achieve.

I've always struggled with,
Loving myself, how I look,
So many insults and rumors,
My confidence, they took.

I was left kind of broken,
My reflection hated me,
But now the love of my life,
Is beginning to set me free.

I've gotten a little more confident.
In myself, I've begun to believe,
I've stood tall against the insults,
And now I can finally be me.

Being you is being free, from any negativity.. It will always come your way, try to keep you dull and grey.. but Amanda you know you're brighter than a rainbow.. so shine your true colors girl, be vibrant, cause Amanda you add color to this darkened world.

Thank you so much, Keegan! I know I've been off for awhile, but this was a great review to come back to (:

I've never understood why girls and guys alike try to be extremely skinny. I don't see how someone can be more attracted to a skeleton than someone who is actually real. A very nice poem, though it has a bit less emotion than some other things of yours. Still, a good write.

What a beautiful poem. But I warn you that you must not rely on a person as a source of confidence. They can go as quickly as they came, and then what are you left with? Only yourself that you don't like. One must find love for themself on their own, so that it is everlasting. And as a friend I tell you the truth, that if this picture is really you, than you never need worry about being ugly.

Thank you, Casanova. I know what you mean. I believe that even if he does leave though, it's not that he's given me confidence, it's that he's taught me to be confident in myself.. If that makes any sense, haha(: and haha, yes, that is actually me :P thank you (:
