Power Behind The Lens

The unlikeliest place to find confidence A boosted self esteem, When others tore and ripped my mind, My body image, Bullied as a child and fourth it continued, It never seized to amaze me, The comments they threw, Like stones they did harm me, My name was ugly I named myself unique My name was freaky I named myself limited My name was what many thought I was then, I named myself what I would be now. I grew then to be the same as before, Or so I had thought, One day arrived at my college life, Your camera flashed and I began to feel Different... They named me ugly You made it feel as though I wasn't They named me a freak You used me for art To this day, Years after that, Thanks to you, I don't feel so ugly Don't feel as much like a freak, You showed me, I can be infront of the camera and not always behind it. Thank you, For being more than a photographer, More than a friend, You were a boost to this bullied little girl's self worth and self esteem! -Kathia Mariana Landeros
