The Mirror of Self-Acceptance
I solemnly swear to always be me. The good, bad, the hurt, and the pain, unapologetically. Self surrender is she. Minimize what I see. Yes! A lot, to a certain degree, to keep from going crazy and it affecting me. Love is blind and you can not see, until it's too late, then you, you're not you anymore.

Me
The red pill is a fleeting dream, the greatest conqueror in the world was nearly abandoned for wearing pants over a skirt and so I don't mind the body I was born into the demands its image expects for there were others just like me who refused to follow a flow not for its strangeness or foreign but for its being known so well by those around them and I will not live according to the dictates of a loser, who likes his popcorn plain

when I love someone I don't want to love their gender or their skin I want to love them their laugh their smile their eyes their humor their kindness their thoughtfulness their talents their skills I want to love them for them not a made up version of them I want them to be theirself and be proud they don't need to be a girl or a boy or gender nonconforming I will love them for them and what they look like does not matter "I don't love a body, that's just skin and bones, not somebody"

pride and love
normative or normal not a word to describe me I don't want to fit in or blend in with the crowd for the sake of acceptance I want to be me and I am proud of me for being myself I will not minimize myself for the sake of being normal stares and hate comments are worth it all if it means I can be me and stand proud of it

beauty is pain that's what they tell the young girls that looks matter more than comfort caked on makeup that weighs your face down tight clothes that show off your body but restricting your lungs starving and counting calories just to achieve the hourglass figure plastic surgery and botox just to meet the beauty standards they go through all this pain and suffering just to reach the ideal image that changes so quickly so you can't keep up and are constantly adjusting theirselves trying to feel beautiful but what they don't realize is that no matter how much you try to fit in it will never be enough beauty is what you make it be comfortable in your own skin wear what makes you feel good eat when hungry starving makes you feel worse there is light at the end of the tunnel i promise

Be Unapologetic
_Good people have bad days Bad days pick on all people. No discrimination. Being mean will not reward you with nice things. Temptation It's one hell of a drug. You don't always have to use the rock as a weapon just because it's in reach. Out of sight, out of mind. Think about it. Don't let them trigger you. Cool it. Before you pull it. Don't lose it. You're the one in control. Remember the way you felt When you were in tune?   Flow of music. Unstoppable mode. I heard it all before, going to the groove tangled in the grapevines You have so much more to lose If you go Columbine Colorblind!_

Chaos Control
Should I grow my hair Stop biting my nails Lose a few pounds Shave everywhere Have a dainty nose Clear skin Lightly shaded eyes Slimmer thighs Should I change my speech Never use profanity Only speak when spoken to Talk softly Laugh lightly Tone it down Have a higher voice Solemnly ever ramble Must I change my entire self? Goodness, no. I know my worth and believe I am stunning in every single way. Every. Single. Way.

How Do I Become Pretty
Have you ever wondered who you are??? The real you??? Not what you think you are. Not what others think of you. But who you realy are??? Not the you thats defined by your actions. Not the you you think or feel the need to be. Not the you you portray to the world. The you inside that nobdy knows??? The you your afraid to show??? Do you ever wonder who that person realy is???

Do you know you???
They say demons aren't real but they are just the dark side of people lives it is nothing bad it's just the temptation that make you always be craving the daily dose of misbehaving It can be bad just don't be glad When you give in just bounce back in and saying I going to try again So don't forget that every day is new so don't lead yourself a stray

Temptation
I be me And you be you Be whoever you want to be Don't copy someone to fit in Be whoever you desire Not someone else's Don't be a liar Be true to yourself Care for who you are With that, you'll get far Within this world of grey, you'll be a shining star

So much time to win. So much time to lose. So much time to think. So much time to choose. So much time to love. So much time to hate. So much time to give. So much time to take. So much time to be afraid. So much time to be brave. So much time between the cradle and the grave. So much time to create. So much time to destroy. So much time to unapologetically Be who you want to be.

So much time
Be your own sun shining in life of others. Be your own flower that beautified ones dried up garden. Be your own bird the soars high above in the sky. Be your own moon that allows the night to bloom. Be your own star that lighten the way of a person's dark path. Be your own person and appreciate being you.

Be You
I'm like a daisy lost in a field of roses, and I was insecure. Because all the flowers around me were so beautiful, that they were admired by everybody. I wanted to blend in, so I painted myself red. I wanted to be beautiful like their petals, so I twisted myself so that I could be like a rose. I changed myself so much, to the point where no body recognized me as a daisy anymore. I tried to fit in so bad, that I lost myself in the process. So, I laid my head down, With tears in my eyes. And that's when I saw her, The most beautiful sun flower I've ever seen. Her beauty outshined the roses, with her bright yellow petals that resembled the sun. And when I looked around, I saw many more beautiful flowers. Proud that they were unique, and accepted who they really are And that's when I realized, that each and one of us are beautiful in our own way.

Because someone doesn’t love like you Does it mean that they’re not true? Should different loves ever compare? Whom would judge which is fair… To impose rules in love of to demand Destroys its potential to expand Love has wonderful holistic ability For new ideas and endless possibility… Relationships evolve together – separately each Each person having much the other to teach It takes two whole people willing to become Parts of each other, as one whole SUM. Love doesn’t have to “change” with vicissitude Though it should adapt to it with aptitude Life is constant alteration and flux Understanding this seems to be the crux… Love how you love And you be you Let them be them And love you too…

Variables of Love
Sometimes I feel like an upturned umbrella, Serving no purpose in the heavy rains . Filling up with water, Like emotions I can't let go of. I feel bad for myself, As I see the other umbrellas being embraced. Why do I lie on the ground, My insides drenched with pain? Do I have holes That I am thrown away? And then someone picked me up And I felt an immense joy. My insides were dried and my holes fixed And someone held me up again. That moment realization, Like lightning struck. I just needed someone to see the good in me I needed someone, to be me. And spreading colours another Umbrella popped into place. Saving my saviour, with my grace. Finally being what I was meant to be, As I looked up at the sky. And the thanked the bright lightning, For giving meaning to an umbrella's life.

Upturned umbrella
Why am I not good enough. I wake up. I look into the mirror trying to remember what I look like before. I walk into my closet. No clothes good enough. I find some people might like. Tight clothes, uncomfortable too. But the fact is that everyone will like them. I put on makeup trying to recognize the girl I saw when I woke. I can’t. The girl in the mirror, stealing my reflection. You walk into school with girls you don’t even like But they are popular That’s all you wanted. You can’t though Because you work hard at school And you stop working hard to walk in with those girls Why am I not good enough You look at those popular girls wishing you were them Why am I not good enough That night you take off your makeup Why am I so ugly Why am I not good enough I am good enough Wake up the next morning Wear clothes you comfortable in Wear no makeup Be the person you are. Work hard in class Get straight As You are good enough.
