Coming back home to myself

she had stars for eyes and an artists soul

 she had wonderment in her soul and a longing to feel whole

 shes learning to love herself

 her redness her freckles her eyes

 and to know that she is so much more than her looks on the outside 

eventhough she was always told tha'ts all that  she was

 eventhough  she was always looked at like a piece of meat but now she isn't.

Now when the men look at her, they see her.

 A person a human being a beautiful  being,

 because

 I am starting to see myself in this way

 Now when i see women

 I smile at them ,

for I understand their struggle

 and they too sheeplessly smile back for 

life is what we truly tell ourselves and how we are and

more importantly  who we are becoming.
