The reflection I see
Is blurry at best
Marred by the dots of doubt
That have no way to connect

I am trying to methodically regain a link
Into the feeling of "being me"
Learning to embrace the (beauty) of all the
fallible pieces,
That make up my identity

I have put my (body) through a torturous Hell
Trying to obtain an unreachable goal
Yet it still manages to be forgiving enough
To keep mustering up (strength)
As I journey to become whole

I do not know when inner peace will come
And silence the screaming beast within
Though I have found an urgent will to fight for
connection
And (respect) my true self again
Beauty-Body-Strength-Respect...These are all words that I spent a lifetime excluding myself from. After extensive help from a "Bad ***" crew, keeping me in check, I am now starting to explore the possibilities of including "myself" along with those wonderful, yet powerful, words!
