*I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror   I stand there holding myself* *Sometimes I'll place  my hands on my hips and move from side to side turning this way or that grabbing at my behind pulling it up seeing how it'd look if it were plumper like them girl's in the videos* *Sometimes I grab a handful of my belly or **** it in and see how I'd look if I could just get over this 14 year baby weight and all the pounds I've gained from my last few miscarriages.* *I know stress plays a role I eat when stressed   I eat my depression and eat when sad or on my cycle I love to eat and love food but it's truly never been my reason for this weight burdening me down* *I lost my will to move to walk or work out lost my drive to fight or even speak out I went from working and going to school staying busy to doing only bits here and there that I have to do* *I can't  be bothered don't even want to I'll lay here and not move long as I can* *I've stayed in a runt for so long I'm talking years felt so low and haven't dug our yet and I know for me this depressions a killer it's got me defeated beaten down so low I never wanna be loved again...* *As I  stand in front of this mirror I hate what's become of me my pessimistic behavior and ideology of what love should be seems like its not meant for me I hate looking at myself I hate seeing my luscious curves my ample succulent ******* *I only currently like my long hair that goes to my shoulders for this chocolate cocoa skin it seems so out of place people wonder if its a weave and not my own but this is all home grown yet and still* *I just like who I am as a person & represent not my physical appearance not only because I have a "good hair" for a black girl I'm ONLY black yet I'm proud of my heritage I'm black and Puerto Rican but who cares* *Funny how my shape for others is just right & for me it isn't I don't have that j.lo figured* *I don't look like a Nicki Minaj how do I look? I um well  I look just like me but seems I can't find someone who'd conquered my heart and own it take care of it as they should....* ***One  day I'll get tired of my self loathing work out and the World will be impressed but not as much as ME!*** *Copyright © Ayeshah K.C.L.N 1977-Present   All right reserved*

Not As Much As Me
*I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror   I stand there holding myself* *Sometimes I'll place  my hands on my hips and move from side to side turning this way or that grabbing at my behind pulling it up seeing how it'd look if it were plumper like them girl's in the videos* *Sometimes I grab a handful of my belly or **** it in and see how I'd look if I could just get over this 14 year baby weight and all the pounds I've gained from my last few miscarriages.* *I know stress plays a role I eat when stressed   I eat my depression and eat when sad or on my cycle I love to eat and love food but it's truly never been my reason for this weight burdening me down* *I lost my will to move to walk or work out lost my drive to fight or even speak out I went from working and going to school staying busy to doing only bits here and there that I have to do* *I can't  be bothered don't even want to I'll lay here and not move long as I can* *I've stayed in a runt for so long I'm talking years felt so low and haven't dug our yet and I know for me this depressions a killer it's got me defeated beaten down so low I never wanna be loved again...* *As I  stand in front of this mirror I hate what's become of me my pessimistic behavior and ideology of what love should be seems like its not meant for me I hate looking at myself I hate seeing my luscious curves my ample succulent ******* *I only currently like my long hair that goes to my shoulders for this chocolate cocoa skin it seems so out of place people wonder if its a weave and not my own but this is all home grown yet and still* *I just like who I am as a person & represent not my physical appearance not only because I have a "good hair" for a black girl I'm ONLY black yet I'm proud of my heritage I'm black and Puerto Rican but who cares* *Funny how my shape for others is just right & for me it isn't I don't have that j.lo figured* *I don't look like a Nicki Minaj how do I look?
