[untitled]

Just a random poem I wrote earlier. Seriously my first poem ever.

Me?
Wow, that’s a toughie.
I’ve gone all my life,
hating on myself.
A glance in the mirror here,
scrutinizing myself there.
It soon turned to a constant.
Check my hair, my face.
"It’s too frizzled, too many red spots."
"My clothes don’t fit,
why am I wearing this?"
Next went the rest.
"I laugh funny, don’t say that,
if I write like that,
they’ll think I’m weird."

Then, then I met you.
You taught me to love myself again.
A "You’re beautiful" here,
a "Hey, gorgeous" there.
You slowly brought me back to me.
Those quirks that I had hated before,
The funny laugh, the way I write,
the fact that my nose is a little big.
You put all of those together
and saw the beautiful, confident
creature I used to.

I don’t know how you did it,
but you brought me back.
No longer do I rag on myself,
no longer do I hate.
I see what you see.
A beautiful, confident, maturing girl.
And for now, that’s all I have to be.
