This poem, well more like a free write, was inspired by the song Amazing by Bruno Mars Oh & this is a true story.Enjoy. :)
I hear the words as I drive in my car.
My thoughts take over my body as I
feel the sting begin in my eyes and
my face gets red hot. I start thinking
about my life and those lyrics.
When was I going find someone
to tell me that I'm amazing? When was
I going to find someone to tell me that
I'm beautiful JUST the way I am?
That they would never change anything
about me because I am the epitome of perfect
in their eyes.
As I pull into my driveway, I turn off the car
and cry softly. The silence made my sniffles
sound deafening. I couldn't hear myself
breathe, I thought I stopped. I took
my time, thinking about my past, present,
and future. I've been so stuck on finding the
"one" that I haven't found myself.
I immediately stopped crying because
I realized I have found someone to tell
me all of those things, and she was
staring at me in the rear view mirror.
ME.
