I've seen a better part
Of overwhelming emotion
It's strange
An ebb and flow
Of apathy and actually
Living
Feeling an emotion
Feeling a feeling
Feel
When your body
Is alive
And your mind is trying
To let it slide
Behind
I am fine
I am
Life is beautiful

Poetry
Became the voice
Of things
that could never
be spoken

Poetry
Gave reason
To what is
unfathomable
and unimaginable

Poetry
Fueled the desire
to incorporate love
Into the world
of literature

Poetry
Told stories
Of thoughts
That only
speak of love

But
It is also because
of poetry
How she came
to understand
What is suffering
*and how sorrow feels like

It's not about your weight
It's not about if you have a zit on your face
It's not about anything you think its about
It's not about anything you think it's about

It's about what's on the inside
It's about if you treat people with respect
It's about if you have a good attitude towards people

It's about if you gibe people a chance on the inside to know if they are a good person or not, just because they look good...

My body is my body
I will do whatever I want
I will pierce whatever I want
I will get a tattoo where ever I want

I will do anything I want with my body if I please
Body confidence is the best thing
You start to feel better about yourself
And you are happier with yourself
With body confidence you will be happier

My scars make me who I am today
I was in a dark place
Know I'm growing out of their
Some days I feel as if it's pulling me back in
Others I feel as if it is just watching me fall apart
Day by day
So I will not let the demon in my head win this time
I shall ignore them
I will do anything to keep me from thinking about it
I will listen to music
Its a medicine to the mind and brain
We are music
But, we are more than music
A noise
That beats in our ears
A scream
That burns our throats
Of Shattered vintage vases
Wrecked ships
And sinking boats
I have to be insane to keep me sane....

I was told I was beautiful....
I didn't believe them I was told I was ugly....
I believed them for every second the word came out of their mouth

Then one day everything changed...
I met someone who makes me very happy with who I and my weight I didn't like the way I saw myself
I noticed that my body true so hard to keep me healthy and alive

I realize I'm not the girls I see in magazines or in the tv shows or anything like that
I am finally happy with who I am and learning to accept me for who I am and my body

I love the feeling I get when you are finally accepting you for who you are and is proud because of everything you have put it through
