one day maybe I could be

one day maybe I could be

A Poem by mikayla baldwin
"

it's been awhile...

"
I used to be beautiful
then he stopped loving me

I used to be beautiful
then I stopped loving others

I USED to be beautiful
then I stopped loving myself

he USED to tell me
that I was beautiful

they USED to tell me
that I was beautiful

I USED to lay in my bed
and pray to be beautiful

I still lay in my bed
and pray to be beautiful

I pray to be beautiful
life would be so easy

life would be so easy
if I wasn't so afraid

if my skin didn't crack
if my eyes weren't so sorry

if my voice didn't crack
if I wasn't so sorry

I used to be beautiful
but now I'm lost

I'm lost and I don't want you to find me
until I'm beautiful again

Relying on others to convince us of our beauty may never be enough. If a person has low self-esteem no one can make us feel better about ourselves. It has to come from the inside. Physical beauty should never be the only way to gain friends and boyfriends/girlfriends.
