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.
