I'm not afraid anymore of the sound I make inside the public comfort room whenever I take a ***. It's normal, I tell myself, you're doing okay.

I don't hide behind my hair anymore whenever I ride the transit. They're not looking at you, I tell myself, you're doing alright.

I don't whisper my stories in the corridor anymore. Speak normal, I tell myself, you're doing fine.

Today, I decided not to hide behind closed doors, not to chew every people's reaction into my head and stop playing their opinions on my ipad.

Today, I will go out there, wear my loveliest dress and be like a field of sunflowers-- beautiful and satisfying.
I'm gonna wear my skin and my skin will be the prettiest of them all.

I am beautiful, I tell myself, that's better.
