I am the embodiment of a goddess,
The picture that is too perfect to pass as
beauty,
Yet too imperfect to be brushed aside as
'common'.
I am the strength that resides deep in the
cavity of my heart,
That carries the toughest emotional burdens,
Yet still retains a smile on my face.
I am the story that can never be put down in words,
With many having a lot to dictate about my life,
Yet leaving me no room to live it out as I
desire.
I am that woman society carries on to shun upon,
Unaware of how the world's oyster has
multitudes of people
Who are still waiting to marvel upon.
This is my journey,
It is not limited to pictures,
It is not limited by the words left unspoken,
It is not limited to what;
could have;
would have,
or even;
should have
been.
It is constantly moving on a path of self-
discovery,
Where self-love is the food that feeds my soul,
Where self-awareness is what adds to the
sparkle in my eyes,
Where self-reliance is the backbone on which I shall forever stand on.
This is who I am,
This is what my life entails,
And the best part is that-
I am living it!
Words to a dear friend, because sometimes we need to remind them that they always matter, no matter how many kicks life may throw at them.
